Magawa was a trained rat who worked with the organization APOPO from November 2013 until January 2022. He was trained to detect chemical compounds in explosives, earning treats like bananas and peanuts as rewards. Throughout his five-year career, Magawa discovered over 100 landmines and other explosives in Cambodia. He completed searches in areas the size of a tennis court in just 20 minutes, a task that could take humans with metal detectors one to four days.
