WARNING: Human gore and mutated animal photos are part of this.

A lot of fascinating images I have never seen before, thanks!



Another interesting biological result at Chernobyl is not mutation, but simply natural selection: Radiotrophic Fungus.

Fungus that is essentially using "photosynthesis" of gamma radiation from the melted core instead of sunlight to grow.


Take the mutated animal photos with a huge gigantic grain of salt. The "citation needed" alarm rang out loud when I looked at those.
