Ziko is a young HeroRAT in the middle of his training
Birthdate: March 30, 2008
Length: 16 cm (body) 17 cm (tail)
Trainer: Shaibu Hamisi Dutilo
Personality: Calm, focused, dedicated, and eager to do his job well
Current training: 3 meter- Ziko is now working with finding real landmines in the training field. He is now learning all the smells associated with a landmine and all the other smells surrounding a minefield so he is prepared when he is fully trained to be a focused mine detection rat! He is learning the stick method: 1 trainer and 1 rat, which is a bit of a specialty. He has passed each of his tests thus far with flying colors and is excelling as a HeroRAT in training.
Notable accomplishments:
Ziko comes from a very large family. A normal litter of rats is 2-3, however there are 5 in Ziko's family, all are male: Manji, Mengi, Zumo, Stan and Ziko. His father Thomas is a demining rat and his mother is from the wild.

What a Christmas blessing.
What a Christmas blessing. This reminds us that no matter how small, or how simple our gifts seem to us. When we put our gifts and talents into action, we can change the world, create peace, teach love and save lives. Our family adopted Ziko, in memory of our rat, Sugar Baby, who died last summer.

Hello Shaibu!
Please give Ziko an extra treat today and tell him that we adopted him as a Christmas present for our dad and husband, Jim. We saw a program on PBS a little while ago about what great work you do and Jim will be so happy that such a small Ziko is making such a big difference in people's lives!
With warm regards,
Hanna & Lise
