The fungi was noticed growing near the reactor(s?) and when experimented and compared with another sort of fungi, this rad-fungi actually grew better when exposed to radiation in comparison to its counterpart which showed no boost in growth regardless of radiation exposure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700625253696133124.post-33420336918498897752010-05-04T07:27:53.862-04:002010-05-04T07:27:53.862-04:00I believe the total absence of the main predator (...I believe the total absence of the main predator (humans) in the region is also an important factor. Also it is likely that many of these animals, as their humans counterparts in the region, have mutations and birth defects, as a result of the elevated radiation levels they are experiencing through generations. Very interesting blog by the way.Neptunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525586360467318110noreply@blogger.com
