Who says they aren't mutated ? Mutations are most of the time not visible by the naked eye , however some creatures are less likely to suffer effects from radiation than others , we're simply not resistant enough to radioactivity.

We think we are the master of nature, oh how arrogant and wrong we are

@MicrowavableJo really? go ask the old folks who snuck back in. Ive seen pictures of womens legs there after going to forage food, its not pretty. And Youre only going by lethgal dose standards, which are too low like you say, but the chances of birth defects, cancers, and other malignant diseases as a result of living there are astronomically higher than for those outside the zone.

@TheCaptainLulz What? That's not true at all. Even if you stayed in Chernobyl, right now, for 4 years. The Radioactivity in your body is still nowhere near lethal.

I wash my vaginas out with seawater before I use them to create that ocean freshness

The part I love the most is that there wont be people there to fuck it up for atleast 100000 years.

they  actually run tours of Chernobyl if you got the ballz to go in there

Yeah, the bear was trying to eat the cat.

[NurseJhonnaMS]

Wait a second. The house with the kittens is the same as the one the bears broke into in part one. Notice the door.

primary succession or secondary succession?

@InternetRevolution all we can hope for, is that when the fallout has cleared enough for human inhabitance, we will respect this haven, and leave it alone...

It actually makes me laugh how so many of you seem to think you know all about it. Obviously it is habitable or life would not be carrying on there, in fact as this video points out, life is thriving there. Have you ever thought that maybe the power of life and mother nature are far more powerful than we think? And that maybe the cycle of life is driven by a force far greater than any atomic bomb us backward thinking humans could ever build?
