Um speaking of glow in the dark animals

Now that is very interesting about the animals around Chernobyl, seems to me
that might precipitate some genetic changes that ought to be fascinating.
We need to see what radiation will do to life I suppose, us silly human
beans with our toys.

Subject: Wildlife defies Chernobyl radiation
Hi!
I'm wondering if the monster bunnies come from Chernobyl. Scientists say
they
haven't found any two-headed mice, but have they investigated the area after
dark? They could discover the newest cool thing: glow in the dark pets.

Wildlife defies Chernobyl radiation
It contains some of the most contaminated land in the world, yet it has
become a haven for wildlife - a nature reserve in all but name.
The exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power station is teeming
with life.
As humans were evacuated from the area 20 years ago, animals moved in.
Existing populations multiplied and species not seen for decades, such
as the lynx and eagle owl, began to return.
