For all you people saying fake.

They were filming in the dead zone.

The dead zone it not just the reactor but miles around which is the dead zone. It's also called the dead zone because no people live there and it's a dead civilisation. However we do not class animals as people, but it is now wilderness.

And about the filming of the animals would have taken weeks and months to film, nut the use trap cameras, these will only go off when something walks in front of it.

So anybody saying fake stil

@Turricann yeah the dead zone is as big as 1100 square kilometers And fukushima will be 5 to 10 times bigger real nasty

Thank you for this epic upload, it's really enlightened me and it was very worthwhile to watch after a day's sick off school. I think it's quite cruel how she abandoned her litter on an abandoned cleanup tug boat and then went past The Zone of Alienation to find a loving home. Shame that those kittens may be no longer :(

For me this video shows the true side of radioactive materials, yes radioactivity is dangerous, but just because you have a few extra gamma rays being emitted here and a couple of extra alpha particles hitting you there doesn't mean the end of the world, people can't live there because it may cause tumours and a few extra mutations, not because its hell on earth... thankyou for showing people the true side of radiation (and maybe if we get another fukushima the world won't go mad...)

People keep commenting on how they don't mention the affects on the gene pool....but watch the whole thing all parts and he does. If you think about it logically, they can't do too much testing because they can't touch the animals or draw blood from them. And only some photographers are crazy enough to go in there and film.
