Red Foxes In Chernobyl
One of the most resourceful animals in the world is the red fox. It should be no surprise, then, that the animal, even in areas with exceptionally high radioactivity, has done well for itself. The mischievous mammal is frequently seen all over Chernobyl by tourists and on camera traps. Since foxes are not accustomed to humans’ sight, it is theorized that they are less fearful of us than outside foxes, sometimes approaching tourists in the hope of getting a delicious snack.

Przewalski’s Horse
As part of a conservation experiment, this endangered breed of a wild horse was introduced to the region in the 1990s. Przewalski’s horses are the only “true” wild horse breed, while other animals have evolved from feral domestic horse breeds. The experiment was successful: due to the lack of human intervention, the horses are flourishing. Scientists claim that the population of the endangered species continues to increase. The horses brought in from zoos and other places mostly died off, while those who had previously roamed the surrounding area adapted well.
