Here is a story of African rodents that have been trained, who are given the name Kofi. With a sharp smell, he can sniff land mines in the radius of 50 meters, with a weight of only about 1.3 kg, very small possibility of mines can be triggered and burst pressure by body weight.
Kofi and others sniffer mouse, are trained at the time when they were stop breastfeeding, or at the age of five weeks. Mouse trained for aromatic sniffing of antipersonnel weapon casing, as his gift, this mouse will get food, to Kofi the hero, the gift is an avocado.

A sniffer mouse that have been trained, will be sniff antipersonnel weapon with a deft, then sit down and pick the location where its found, and waited for the food given as a gift. After that, a demolision expert will be destroy these weapon.
There are 30 sniffer mouse in Mozambique used to sterilize antipersonnel weapon area, the rest of the war monument in the country.
