Ronin, a giant African pouched rat, has tracked down 109 landmines. 

Ronin beat the previous record, held by hero rodent Magawa who found 71 landmines and 38 UXOs during his five-year service before retirement in 2021.

Magawa, who was awarded a gold medal for heroism for clearing mines from about 225,000 square metres of land died in 2022.

Ronin's incredible achievement in detecting landmines highlights the vital role that animals play in saving lives and clearing dangerous areas. Magawa's legacy lives on as a true hero in the field of mine detection and clearance.
