The wolves are exposed to cancer-causing radiation as they roam the wastelands of the abandoned city - with researchers finding part of their genetic information seems resilient to increased risk of the disease.
… wasn’t there basically no additional cancer present in mammals over there?
And even in humans - hasn’t only thyroid cancer spiked in the months after the accident?
Oh, she claims these wolves are genetically different than others (or that all wolves are better at beating cancer?) … I don’t understand that claim. And if that’s true, then why not test DNA/immune system of humans living very near there (The Babushkas of Chernobyl?
My understanding is that while the fallout from Chernobyl wasn’t very dangerous, and didn’t lead to a noticeable increase in cancer rates, the area around the reactor is still very dangerous due to the debris from the reactor core that’s scattered around.
