A *rat* just had her retirement party after a successful career sniffing out tuberculosis and saving lives. 🐀 She’s an African giant pouched rat who spent nearly 7 years working with APOPO after training with them. 💙 She screened over 200,000 human samples and flagged more than 3,100 cases that had been missed by clinics, possibly preventing over 30,000 new infections. 🐀 Carolina was still eager to work at 8 years old, but her team decided it was time to let her slow down and enjoy her favorite things: relaxing, playing, and spending time with her best friend, Gilbert. 💕📸 APOPO �#herorat #ratsareawesome #apopo #goodnews #animalheroes #tbstory #africangiantpouchedrat #positivecontent #rats #rat
