5 animal species that became radioactive after being exposed to nuclear fallout zones

• The impact of nuclear disasters throughout history can still be seen in the environment today. 
• Animals in areas near nuclear disasters are being found with radiation still in their bodies. 
• Nuclear fallout spreads and impacts communities and environments near and far. 

Long after the events of Chernobyl and Fukushima, their impacts are still being felt. 

The animals near major nuclear events and nuclear testing sites, like Enewetak Atoll, were discovered to have radioactive elements in their bodies immediately after. But even decades later, animals near and far are still being found to have radioactive elements in their body due to the contamination of food sources.
