Cambodia is combating its landmine problem - with rats.
After more than two decades of civil war, the kingdom is one of the most landmine-affected countries in the world.
Now they hope to sniff away their past thanks to rodents that are able to detect the buried threats.

Top Guns: The Best U.S. Air Force Pictures of 2013
These stunning images show a year in the life of the largest air force in the world.
The United States Air Force has operations all over the world and enlisted photographers are there to capture the action.
The service's specialist Airman magazine has curated the most impactful imagery from 2013 for a special issue entitled 'Year in Visuals'.
As would be expected, the gallery features awesome images of aircraft, but there are also personal military stories including a striking image of Capt. Candice Adams Ismirle preparing for cancer radiation treatment, while Staff Sgt. Ron Blodgett is shown in tears as he embraces his son after returning from a deployment in Southwest Asia.
Managing editor Tech. Sgt. Chris Powell explains: "We pride ourselves on publishing the powerful imagery and videos Air Force photographers and broadcasters produce every day. These professionals travel the world, sometimes putting themselves in harm's way, to bring you the visual story from an Airman's perspective.
"Our goal is to make you feel as close to the story as possible, being right there with Airmen providing security in Afghanistan, a team of Airmen hiking the highest mountains on Earth or showcasing the Air Force's many aircraft conducting operations throughout the world."

An artist has made mockup images comparing Barbie's body to an average 19-year-old woman's body, Pittsburgh, America - 02 Jul 2013

Real Women vs. Barbie: Artist Shows Shocking Differences
Real Women vs. Barbie: Artist Shows Shocking Differences
From her extraordinarily long legs to her unrealistically tiny waist, the world's most famous doll has often come under scrutiny from women's groups who say it promotes an unhealthy idea of body image in girls.
And now it seems their claims have been proven by illustrator Nickolay Lamm, who has taken his investigation of Barbie's unlikely physical appearance a step further, showing what the Barbie toy would look like if she had normal measurements.
Scaled up to human size, Barbie dolls would have unrealistic measurements of an 18" waist, 33" hips and a 36" bust compared with the typical 19-year-old girl's 31" waist, 33" hips and a 32" bust.
Lamm has highlighted the discrepancies by comparing Barbie's body side-by-side to the mockup of a realistic version, based on CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) measurements of the average 19-year-old American girl.
The images were created by modeling the average sized woman to measurements of the average 19-year-old girl and from there a 3D model was constructed.
Once the 3D model was printed, photos of Barbie and the printed model were taken and Photoshop was applied to the 3D printed model to make it look like a Barbie doll.
Lamm said: "My last Barbie project got a lot of criticism because Barbie is a toy and people argued that a toy can't do any harm.
"However, if we criticise skinny models, we should at least be open to the possibility that Barbie may negatively influence young girls as well. Furthermore, a realistically proportioned Barbie actually looks pretty good in the pictures I produced.

Real Women vs. Barbie: Artist Shows Shocking Differences
Real Women vs. Barbie: Artist Shows Shocking Differences
From her extraordinarily long legs to her unrealistically tiny waist, the world's most famous doll has often come under scrutiny from women's groups who say it promotes an unhealthy idea of body image in girls.
And now it seems their claims have been proven by illustrator Nickolay Lamm, who has taken his investigation of Barbie's unlikely physical appearance a step further, showing what the Barbie toy would look like if she had normal measurements.
Scaled up to human size, Barbie dolls would have unrealistic measurements of an 18" waist, 33" hips and a 36" bust compared with the typical 19-year-old girl's 31" waist, 33" hips and a 32" bust.
Lamm has highlighted the discrepancies by comparing Barbie's body side-by-side to the mockup of a realistic version, based on CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) measurements of the average 19-year-old American girl.
The images were created by modeling the average sized woman to measurements of the average 19-year-old girl and from there a 3D model was constructed.
Once the 3D model was printed, photos of Barbie and the printed model were taken and Photoshop was applied to the 3D printed model to make it look like a Barbie doll.
Lamm said: "My last Barbie project got a lot of criticism because Barbie is a toy and people argued that a toy can't do any harm.
"However, if we criticise skinny models, we should at least be open to the possibility that Barbie may negatively influence young girls as well. Furthermore, a realistically proportioned Barbie actually looks pretty good in the pictures I produced.
