According to the staff of Missouri University (USA) there is a risk that wolves from the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant can spread mutated genes all over Europe, the Daily Mail reports.. After the departure of people from the territory, many wild animals have bred there, including large predators such as lynx, boars and wolves.

Now the density of wolves in the infected zone is seven times higher than in the nearby forests. And young animals began to migrate to neighboring territories. 14 males caught and put on them GPS-sensors. It turned out that one of them for 21 days wandered 300 km from the dead zone, where he could quite meet the female and transmit his mutated genes.
