In 2014, the Princeton team attached collars to these CEZ wolves with both GPS and radiation dosimeters, in an effort to understand the population’s response to Chernobyl’s cancer-causing ...

The gray wolves of Chernobyl, living in a radioactive wasteland since the 1986 nuclear disaster, have developed surprising genetic adaptations that seem to protect them from cancer, a rare ...

Mutant wolves who roam the human-free Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancer-resilient genomes that could be key to helping humans fight the deadly disease, according to a study.

Even if the Chernobyl wolves carried harmful genes -- which it appears they aren't -- there's no guarantee the genes would be passed to their offspring.

The mutants of Chernobyl: How radiation exposure has forced animals to mutate in incredible ways to survive - creating black frogs, cancer-resistant wolves and a NEW species of dog ...

A team of researchers from Princeton University first began investigating the gray wolves in the Chernobyl exclusion zone (CEZ) back in 2014. As time went on, the scientists wondered if the wolves ...
