Although Magawa weighed less than three pounds, his impact was monumental. The African giant pouched rat sniffed out more than 100 land mines during his five-year career, saving countless lives.
To honor his bravery, a seven-foot statue of Magawa was unveiled on Friday in Cambodia, where he spent his time nose-down on high-stakes missions. Magawa died in 2022, but his legacy lives on.
