Magawa is a large African rat who has been awarded a prestigious gold medal by the UK veterinary charity PDSA for his dedication to saving lives in detecting and helping to clear deadly mines in Cambodia. The 7-year-old rodent smelled and allowed the safe destruction of 39 mines and 28 units of unexploded ordnance in this one of the most mined countries in the world during his career.
He was trained by the Apopo charity in Tanzania to smell chemicals in mines. It took years, but the results are truly eloquent. Although it is larger than many other species of rats. Weighing in at just over a kilogram and just over 70 centimeters, the rodent is too light to detonate when hoisted up on explosives and has already cleared an area of land equivalent to 20 football fields in Cambodia. Plus, it works much faster than anyone with a metal detector. Sniff the tennis court in just 20 minutes. It would take a person one to four days to clear such an area. Magawa’s achievements are not only enjoyed by his coaches, but also by local farmers.
It is true that Magawa is now engaged in demining work for only half an hour a day. His term will end soon. And a person can complete it by completing the online application.
