Every HeroRAT starts with the basics. Trainers teach them to indicate a target scent like TNT, marking the correct behavior with a click and reward. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, they build the skills needed for advanced training. #APOPO #HeroRATs

Finding cluster munition remnants is the hardest part of clearing them. Our Technical Survey Dogs can survey thousands of square meters in days, not months, pinpointing contamination so deminers can focus on confirmed areas. #APOPO #SavingLives #MineAction #ClusterMunitions

African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) have cheek pouches for storing food, long tails for balance and temperature regulation, sensitive whiskers, excellent hearing and an incredible sense of smell. They’re also nocturnal.

Alors,réponse lunaire de Nunez invité chez Apopo ce matin: les flics avaient 1 "mission" ce WE:
- empêcher la violence de l'ultra gauche

Et apparemment ils peuvent pas ajuster l'ordre de mission, sinon ça bug 😆

All tumours relatively stable. Bloods mostly within range. Side effects were becoming more & more difficult to manage, so I'm chemo-free until January 28. I should be really happy about all this but I just feel like weeping. My afternoon hui is cancelled, so I'm going to bed. Ka kite āpōpō, whānau 😘
