Signs Of Evolution
Although we are taught in school that evolution is a painfully slow process, the data reveal that the wildlife at Chernobyl has already evolved in just a few decades! Frogs in the Exclusion Zone, for example, are a darker shade of green than those outside the zone, indicating that they’ve developed to be more radiation-resistant.
Bugs Are Okay
Some insects that have been exposed to the highest amounts of radiation have had reduced lifespans, but many species have managed to flourish despite the radiation levels because they can reproduce quickly enough to compensate for not living as long.
