APOPO said that African giant pouched rats have found more than 150,000 landmines.

APOPO表示，非洲巨鼠已经发现了超过15万枚地雷。

In addition to human de-miners, the group has trained 15 Gambian pouched rats, a larger rat than many people have seen.

除了人工排雷外，这个组织已先后培训了15批冈比亚巨鼠，这些巨鼠比常见的老鼠大得多。

But APOPO decided that giant African pouched rats were best equipped to help clear landmines because of their African roots and lifespan of up to eight years.

但APOPO组织认为，非洲巨鼠最适合帮助清除地雷，因为它们的非洲背景，而且其寿命最长可达8年。

Szott added that she thinks giant pouched rats will be used at ports and airports in the future and may replace dogs to smell for explosives and drugs.

索特补充说，她认为未来巨鼠将会被用于港口和机场，并可能会取代狗来闻爆炸物和毒品。
