Chernobyl Reclaimed: An Animal Takeover (1 of 5)

In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power lost control of one of its four reactors resulting chain reaction that created a series of explosions. 'Chernobyl: Life in the Dead Zone' explores how nature and animals would react and survive if the world was suddenly without humans. This fascinating programme takes place at the site of the world's worst nuclear accident - hastily abandoned by panic-stricken humans. In houses where people once lived and laughed, wildlife is making itself at home. Watch as the wild animals face challenges in an environment totally outside their comfort zone, while once-domestic species must rediscover their wild natures within.

Nuclear desert? More like nuclear heaven.

The only real deserts are cities built by humans.

when humans aren't hogging all the good farmable land, they get fruit trees and trees that have lots of good things to eat, grow in the good soil. Humans don't leave any good soil for the wild animals.  they think they are connected to nature because they have cats and dogs, but their cats and dogs were only bred to conquer and enslave other animals, shepard them, hunt them.

@Drago19930713 I agree about the natural world being better off without us, but I think your starting point is a little bit strange. Nature doesn't hate us. It doesn't think anything of us. It's not a hive mind: we can't piss it off. However it IS, a delicate, intricate, balanced system: we can 'unbalance' it, but it will only be to our detriment.

@doina2ni one animal whos footage didnt get used in the film!

Its amazing and sad in the same time. This is evidence, that humans are kicked out of animal buddy club. Rest of the nature hates us. To them we are like viruses, like plague which they try to avoid as much, as possible...Humans should feel like jerks. At least nature took back some of its property that humans stole... I hope humans will come back to their sanity and change themselves. Otherwise, we need to GTFO from here. This would be best for life itself... Killers are not needed.
