Life in the area of Chernobyl!

I read a very interesting article today about how the animal population more or less has replaced the human population during the last 30 years. The 116.000 local inhabitants had to flee the area after the catastrophe and the mass pollution that was provoked by the explosion at the Chernobyl power plant.

Here you can see the interesting photos of the animal taking inhabiting the area:
