What are chernobyl wolves?

Chernobyl wolves are wolves that live near the Chernobyl power plant, which had a big accident in 1986.

A long time ago, there was a power plant that made energy. But it had a big problem: it exploded! This made a lot of radioactive stuff, like invisible dust, spread out into the air and land around it.

Most people left the area because they got sick from the radioactive stuff, but some animals stayed behind.

Wolves that lived in the area before the accident stayed, and more came to live there after. They’re called Chernobyl wolves because they live near the old power plant.

These wolves have adapted to life with a little bit of radioactive stuff around them, just like how you might get used to wearing your favorite socks every day, even if they're a little worn out!
