Today, we take a look at what is happening in Chernobyl right now.
Chernobyl Wolves Could be Spreading Mutations in Europe.
In the north, where the site of Chernobyl sits, there are several European grey wolves, alongside other rather large species, who call the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone their home. While no people occupy this space anymore, the problem is hardly solved by having no one live in the space.
Just like us, animals can experience severe and long-term health issues from radiation.
We are yet to conclude the degree to which radiation can cause mutations throughout species, and even more questions continue to arise as to if these changes could spread beyond the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
