Their Mutations Could Cause Problems
In Chernobyl, you will not see giant, monstrous spiders, and a spider bite will not grant you unique powers, but when it comes to the well-being of insects, arachnids, and other invertebrates, there are still some worries. It could have significant implications for the environment if these bugs’ life spans were reduced for future generations. Within the exclusion zone, dragonflies, butterflies, spiders, and grasshoppers have lower populations. In a polluted ecosystem, there is so little insight into how nature works.
Adapting
It’s only been 33 years since the deadly nuclear accident, but scientists speculate that some animal species have already shown evolutionary adaptations. Frogs observed in the highly irradiated exclusion zone, for instance, have a darker green shade than those outside the region, suggesting that they have adapted their exterior to become more resistant to radiation.
