These giant MDRs, mine detection rats that is, went through extensive training with the Belgian NGO called APOPO to help their human friends sniff out mines.

就是非洲巨鼠扫雷队的这些巨鼠们向人类伸出援手，它们在比利时名为APOPO非政府组织的严格训练下成功帮助他们的人类朋友嗅探地雷。

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。
