The History Channel did this already. Lots of large dogs around, no small dogs left.

It should be a preserve! Where else in the world can you find the rare 2-headed reindeer or the ever elusive centipossum?

Yes, human activity is more destructive to wildlife than lethal doses of radiation.

DarnoKonrad: Yes, human activity is more destructive to wildlife than lethal doses of radiation.

Well, chernobyl WAS human activity, and the wildlife there is hardly healthy and thriving despite managing to exist there, from what I've heard.

Kind of makes you proud, in a perverse sort of way.

I turned on PBS and there's an awesome episode of NOVA on about Jupiter's moon Io. Good enough for me.

As somebody who just loaded up S.T.A.L.K.E.R for the first time not even an hour ago, I am getting a kick out of the timing of this thread.

Someone didn't watch the show...
Was pretty interesting, actually.
The focus was the wolves, but they spotlighted several other species that are doing quite well despite the radioactivity.
8+ foot catfishes because they never stop growing and they've not been fished for ~30 yrs. (did you know they keep growing as long as they're alive?)
Peregrine falcons living in the high-rise buildings.
Bison, dormouses (Dormice?), eagles, and more.

/also, my uncle was narrating.

'wildlife' in this context takes on a whole new meaning.

Can we get a Radioactive Wolves t-shirt?

Devolving_Spud: Can we get a Radioactive Wolves t-shirt?

If it has three wolves, and they're singing to either the Pripyat ferris wheel or the sarcophagus, then yes, you need that shirt.

I actually typed "Communists." but the filter replaced it with Obama. Not my fault.

Isn't that a little close to be using a mini-nuke? I mean, sure it's a deathclaw, but you're well within the blast radius there.
