Our research shows that the number of large mammals at Chernobyl is similar to that in uncontaminated nature reserves in Belarus – except for wolves, which are far more numerous in the area around the reactor. The area is also home to lynx and even a few brown bears.
我们的研究显示切尔诺贝利的大型哺乳动物数量与未经污染的白俄罗斯自然保护区差不多——但狼群除外，这些狼大多生活在反应堆的四周。该地区还发现了山猫甚至是几头棕熊。此外并未发现辐射水平和哺乳动物密度之间有任何联系；污染最严重地区的哺乳动物数量和污染最轻的地方相差不多。
