See what Chernobyli did to abandoned dogs they managed to survive in the danger zone

Hundreds of lost puppys have learned how to survive in the forest around the high radioactivity area, many of which are the descendants of dogs who fled the nuclear disaster.

We're in the forest behind the Chernobyll nuclear plant when a dog runs toward us. It's thin, don'tve. Igor, our guide, greets him.

This is Tarzan,” he says. “He's a stray who lives in the expulsion zone. His mother was killed by a wolf. ”

Tarzan is not alone. There's about 300 dogs missing in space of 6,000 square miles.

After the Chernobyl disaster took place in 1986, Pripyat and nearby villages were abandoned, while the fleeing inhabitants were not allowed to take these animals for pity.

There had been a lot of firing squads that killed those dogs. Many had wanted to board buses carried by travelers but were not allowed.
