The stray dogs in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed immunity to radiation and heavy metals, showing unique genetic adaptations that allow them to thrive.
Scientists discovered that these resilient dogs have two genetically distinct populations, suggesting long-term adaptation to the toxic environment of Chernobyl.
Research on the dogs' genetic mutations could provide insights into the effects of environmental toxins on health, potentially benefiting both animal and human populations.
