## Caption

BOOM doesn’t go the rat. In Tanzania, rats are trained to detect landmines leftover from times of political unrest (herorats). Unlike humans, a rodents acute sense of smell and lightweight frame allows them to safely detect landmines without triggering an explosion. The army of TNT sniffing African Giant Pouched rats save lives.
