#Europe’s #Boars Still Hold #Radioactivity. What Surprised Scientists Is Why.
Some wild #boar hunted in #German forests have radiation levels that exceed the limit deemed safe for human consumption. New research suggests that it’s not just because of #Chernobyl.Why is the radiation in the wild boar population relatively high, when most other wildlife are uncontaminated, many generations after the accident? (Spoiler: It’s because they eat deer truffles.)
