An African giant pouched rat has been awarded a prestigious gold medal for his work detecting land mines.
Magawa has sniffed out 39 landmines and 28 unexploded munitions in his career.
The UK veterinary charity PDSA has presented him with its Gold Medal for "life-saving devotion to duty, in the location and clearance of deadly landmines in Cambodia".
There are thought to be up to six million landmines in the southeast Asian country.

It is a terrible existence. The stress alone has to age people beyond anything of comparison.

I applaud the first person who decided to train a rat to sniff out bombs. Now, THAT is ingenuity.
