The scariest thing about a HeroRAT is how much banana fits in those cheeks.

No tricks, just treats: https://apopo.org/herogifts/basket-of-bananas/

Happy Halloween everyone! 🐭🧡👻🎃

Sapper rats are African giant pouched rats. These are a distinct species not even related to regular rats.
One sapper rat can clear an area the size of a tennis court in 30 minutes whereas a human w/metal detector would take 4 days.

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

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.

Despite being friendly & a good rat, Aziz lacked the motivation to work as quickly & as intently as his peers. As a result, Aziz was re-assigned into a life of an ambassador on our stream! 🐀❤️
Ambassadors help educate the public about APOPO's the life-saving work!
