Sean Gallup/Getty Images In 1998, 30 Przewalski’s horses an endangered species considered the last wild horses still in existence were released into the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and left to their own devices. There were wolves to contend with, not to mention potentially devastating radiation, but the horses didn’t have to worry about human interference at all. Now, it’s estimated that at least 150 Przewalski’s horses roam the region. They’re in good company, too. “Our camera trap surveys in Ukraine have photographed Eurasian lynx, brown bear, black storks, and European bison,” Nick Beresford, a researcher at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, told Euronews. “Ukrainian and Belarussian researchers have recorded hundreds of plant and animal species in the zone, including more than 60 [rare] species.” Elk, deer, boars, and wolves are also in abundance.
