Today I saw a documentary about wolves living in a Chernobyl area - this one seems to be really hit by radiation XD Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos, vlk arkticky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic one year old guy and a puppy Here you can see first photos of baby wolf puppies born in 2012 - [link] And a journal with photos of wolf mating: [link]

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos) Location: Canadian Arctic and the northern parts of Greenland Size: 1.8 m long, 79 cm high weight: 75 kg Diet: Caribou, musk oxen, Arctic Hares, seals, ptarmigan, lemmings. Arctic wolves eat all their prey, also its bones and fur Conservation status: common. They still live in the whole of its original range, because local conditions are too extreme for humans. Interesting facts: mother gives birth to some 2-3 pups in May. Pups are born almost black – as they get older, colour of their fur turns to white. Adults are completely white, even in summer | arctic wolves live in the pack of some 7-10 members. Only alpha male and alpha female mate | arctic wolves have shorter ears and nose than other wolves species. They also have thicker fur, shorter legs | they do not run too fast, their advantage is persistence ZOO: to see exhibit of arctic wolves, click Here

Whoa, it looks really.. twisted? Shutter speed 1/1000 & ISO 1600? That's why I thinked it's really a mutation. No ditherin' on a wolf, but his tail. So, shake movement's not visible. Just how old's he? Even if there was a mutation, it might went out in a few generations. As far as I know, rad level in Chernobyl much lesser now (exponential progression decrease). Still dangerous, but some people tryin' to live on borderlands. And if this' a joke - this' bad one. Our family's friend told me how he worked on the ruins of a reactor - some divisions of a Soviet Army was mobilized for that duty. Even now he can't forget this. Weird.
I agree. A lot of people and animals died, quickly or slowly. And the birth defects. And the economic loss in the billions. The radiation is continuing to leave a huge 'dead zone' around the plant, and the cement tomb that covers it is already crumbling. Fukushima will prove worse, with it's melt-throughs of two reactors which the company actually knew of from the beginning but just lied about.
The original designs, now outdated, were by GE (we have 23 just like them operating in the US now). GE specified the location, even though some on-site engineers had some doubts; architecture and construction was carried out by Japanese companies, and it was owned and operated by a Japanese company. The problems with siting, accidents, reporting of incidents, regulatory standards, are not unique to Fukushima -- they are par for the course in the nuclear industry worldwide. Just to name one disaster-in-waiting, there is a leaky reactor located on a fault line within 50 miles of New York City.
50 miles?? And they don't care???!!!1111 Don't understand how it's possible. If that'ld blow... *knocks-the-wood* The Fukushima's xperience didn't taught'em, nor a Chernobyl?? They wanna see Fallout IRL????
Well, how I saw, it affected not only a health. He was healthy, as they worked in short shifts, and every squad was there about a month, until changed by a next one. But he never likes to speak about it, all the speech like 'some returned healthy, some lost a hairs, some died in a few months' & so. Looks like it' a severe strike on psychic. Not a radiation. Fear of it, & watchin' a consequences.
