Chernobyl Animals

Melissa Thomas, Jack Collier Season 9 Episode 1

In 1986, Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded, causing a radioactive fallout with catastrophic effects on people and wildlife. We check in 40 years later to see how the critters in Pripyat and the surrounding area are faring. Brace yourself for some ooey gooey wolves and jacked up arachnids. This one’s gonna get weird!
