Meet Ronin, the world’s most heroic rat, who’s not just breaking records but apparently the very laws of rodent physics. This five-year-old African giant pouched rat has sniffed out a jaw-dropping 109 landmines and 15 unexploded ordnance in Cambodia, making him the superhero no one expected but everyone desperately needs[3][2]. Forget capes or laser vision—Ronin’s superpower is a nose so sharp it could probably detect a misplaced cookie crumb from a mile away.

Previously, a rat named Magawa held the crown with a measly 71 landmines found—amateur hour compared to Ronin’s explosive tally[3]. Sources say Ronin’s handlers have even installed a tiny rat-sized disco ball at HQ to celebrate each mine detected, because nothing says “job well done” like rodents dancing over danger zones. At just five years old and with potentially two more years of mine-hunting glory ahead, Ronin is the furry embodiment of “work smarter, not harder,” or at least “work with a better sniffer.”

In unrelated news, local cats are reportedly filing union complaints over unfair competition in the heroic pet department. Ronin’s heroics have once again revealed humans and rodents can team up to save lives—though neighbors remain uncertain whether to throw a parade or install rat-proof locks on the cookie jar[3][4].
