A Tanzanian charity says it's in the final stages of agreeing a deal to export its world-renowned rats to Zimbabwe to help sniff out landmines.
The Apopo rats have been taught to detect explosives, and it's hoped they will help clear the country of thousands of mines laid during the country's liberation war. But as Dan Ashby reports from Tanzania, it's not just bombs that the rats are being trained to find.
