Our #rats are commonly referred to as African giant pouched rats, but we like to call them #HeroRATs ! They have a long lifespan, averaging 8+ years in captivity. They have a highly developed sense of smell & are native to sub-Saharan Africa. #innovation #socialtransformation
I really need a day between Saturday and Sunday... 😅

Today is International Landmine Awareness Day. Landmines never expire. Some have been lying in wait for over half a century, still deadly. #APOPO integrates animals into conventional methods to speed up finding and destroying #landmines .
