Evolutionary Signs
The results show that the species at Chernobyl has developed in just a few decades, unlike what we’ve been taught in school. As an example, frogs in the Exclusion Zone have grown a darker shade of green than those outside of the zone, showing that they have become more radiation-resistant via evolution.
Bugs Are All Right
Some insects that have been exposed to the highest levels of radiation have had their lifespans decreased, but many species have managed to thrive despite the high radiation levels because they can reproduce quickly enough to make up for the fact that they are not living as long as they should.
