SkyNews:
[Dr Cara Love, an evolutionary biologist
and ecotoxicologist at Princeton University
in the US, has been studying how the
Chernobyl wolves survive despite
generations of exposure to radioactive particles.

Dr Love and a team of researchers visited
the CEZ in 2014 and put radio collars
on the wolves so that their movements
could be monitored.]

[Wolves in Chernobyl's radiation zone
appear to have developed a
resistance to cancer after being exposed
to high levels of radiation in the
wake of the nuclear disaster 35 years ago,
according to a new study.]

I saw one of these wolves when I visited the site some 5+ years ago now. It was such a snowy day. It ran right in front of the jeep as I was driving down the road.
