That big a rat wouldn't set off a mine? I don't believe.

1.35 kg isn't that heavy and the 75 cm length probably includes the tail,  From a military perspective, one doesn't want small animals setting off mines as it's a waste of effort.

Thanks, but 75cm, that's longer than most of the cats. Would that be 7.5 cm?

I'd imagine. Either that or it includes the tail as TF said.

7.5 cm is only 3 in, and thus smaller than most rats. A quick google found that the species APOPO uses is the African giant pouched rat, of which half its length is the tail.
