Fukushima: Tracking the wild boar takeover

news Fukushima: Tracking the wild boar takeover Once people were gone, the boar took over, explains Donovan Anderson, a researcher at Fukushima University in Japan. His genetic study of the wild boar that roam in an area largely abandoned after Japan s 2011 nuclear disaster - has revealed how the animals have thrived. Using DNA samples, he also discovered that boar have bred with domestic pigs that escaped from farms. This has created wild pig-boar hybrids that now inhabit the zone. While the radiation hasn t caused a genetic effect, the invasive domestic pig species has, Mr Anderson explained. The disaster at Fukushima s nuclear power plant was caused by the biggest earthquake ever to hit Japan. A gigantic wave surged over defences and flooded the nuclear reactors. Subsequently, a zone surrounding the damaged plant - akin to Chernobyl s exclusion zone - was evacuated.
