Paragraph 2
Rats are the
best suited to
detect landmines. They are
and can smell well. In his seven
of work, Magawa found 39 landmines and 28
devices. He helped to clear an
the size of 20 soccer pitches. He is the most successful rat in the
of landmine detection. The charity said: "This is the
first time in our 77-year
of honouring animals that
have presented a medal to a rat."
