A landmine-hunting rat in Cambodia has set a new world record by sniffing out more than 100 mines and pieces of unexploded ordnance, a charity said.
一家慈善機構表示，柬埔寨一隻探雷鼠嗅出100多枚地雷和未爆彈，創下1項新的世界紀錄。
Ronin, a giant African pouched rat, has tracked down 109 landmines and 15 other potentially deadly war remnants since his deployment to northern Preah Vihear province in August 2021, the Belgian charity APOPO said in a statement.
比利時慈善機構APOPO在聲明中表示，非洲巨鼠羅寧自2021年8月被派往柬埔寨北部普里維希省以來，已追蹤到109枚地雷和15枚其他可能致命的戰爭遺留物。
Five-year-old Ronin has been named the most successful Mine Detection Rat in the organisation’s history.
5歲的羅寧被評為該組織史上最成功的「探雷鼠」。
