People are still hesitant to return to the Chernobyl exclusion zone; the ghosts of the past still roam here.
No, people are not afraid of ghosts or the spirits of the dead living in the dungeons. The enemy living in the Chernobyl exclusion zone is much worse, he has no smell, is not tangible, absolutely inaudible and invisible.
It has already been 30 years since the atomic catastrophe, when a nuclear explosion at a nuclear power plant drove people out of here and polluted the territory. Now invisible death lives here - radiation. At the same time, if there is no place for a person here, then wildlife, especially large animals, seem to have found a way to survive.
After the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, 116, 000 residents were evacuated from 4200 square kilometers. This place is well known as the exclusion zone, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant - about which a lot of material has been written and filmed.
The nuclear disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Japan, showed that extremely high levels of radiation significantly affect the health and reproduction of the planet's fauna and flora. Under the influence of hard ionizing radiation, the mutation covers all organisms on the planet.
It is interesting, but in those places where supertechnologies caused a disaster, and the king of beasts himself was forced to flee, nature took the territories under its patronage. As recent studies show, wild boars and roe deer feel great in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, and even a deer carrying a noble head walks in the shade of trees.
Strange, but now, when there is no man in these places, there are more than 7 times more animals in the closed zone than in another protected area.
What is the reason for these results? Maybe humans are more dangerous to animals than ugly radiation? Or the absence of people allowed them to quickly recover and thrive without the negative effects of hunting, forestry and agriculture.

But can an increase in the number of animals in the exclusion zone speak of animal health, can this be proof that the earth and atmosphere are harmless here? This is still an “out of bounds” issue.
Usually, research is limited to observing large animals, looking closely at birds and rodents. But this does not include the study of their physical condition, for mutations or other pathologies of the organism from radiation disfiguring a living cell.
Currently, researchers are using active cameras and sound recording devices to monitor the life of the anomalous zone.
While the increase in the animal population in the Chernobyl zone is marked by positive dynamics, this makes it possible to predict how the 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan will affect the living world in the next 25-30 years.
Mutations, the world of nuclear disasters
The tragic life story shows the birth of a baby with one eye in the center of the forehead after radiation. As they say in the press, the face of the newborn shocked the medical community. This showed the heartbreaking cost of radiation exposure.
This is an anomaly, a deviation in the body caused by incorrect "unpacking" of archived files of genetics under the influence of the strongest influence of the external environment. Cyclopia, the so-called mutation, from which a boy born with an eye in the middle of his forehead can live no more than a few days. The eye, which formed where the nose is blocked by nature, is only one of several deviations that disfigured the baby's body while still in the womb.
The birth of a child amazed doctors, mainly with such anomalies as cyclopia, they die in the womb. The formation of an extremely rare birth defect is often blamed on the effects of radiation, although a combination of various drugs taken during pregnancy is not excluded. Cyclopia was named after a mythical figure in Greek mythology who possessed a single eye in the center of his forehead.
In fact, such a deviation occurs about four times per 1000 fetuses, but in most cases, pregnancy does not come to a logical conclusion. Children with this disorder tend to develop severe heart defects. This boy was born in a private hospital in the northeastern part of the city of Es Simbilawain / Dakahliyah Governorate, Egypt /.
The baby's eye sockets were unable to develop properly in the womb, resulting in a deviation. All those who were born with similar anomalies were able to live a few days, for example, a boy born in India in 2011 lived only two days.
Public opinion on such anomalies varies, some believe that this is the fruit of Muslim relations - allegedly marriages between loved ones are common here. Thus, intra-family marriages become the cause of such anomalies in children.
We should be ashamed in front of a poor baby, many believe: a birth defect is a sign of exposure to radiation. These are all traces of this or that war in the world, when opponents use a bunch of weapons that are dangerous to the life and health of future generations. Looking at a child, we clearly see the work of shells with depleted uranium - this shows us what our progress has achieved and what we are worth.
