Godzilla has a new rival… Radioactive Boars
2021 welcoming radioactive hogs
If Murder Hornets weren’t enough, Nuclear Wild Hogs (also known as White-Moustached Hogs) have now entered the food chain. Recently, scientists have discovered these radioactive creatures in Fukushima, Japan, the nuclear meltdown of 2011, caused by an earthquake and tsunami. 10 years later, a new hybrid of hogs are roaming the streets. These pigs are showing over 3xs the radiation level that is fatal to a human.
Scientists and government officials have tasked hunters to exterminate as many of these radioactive hogs as they possibly can. Many of the local farmers have found the boars breeding with their domesticated pigs. This gives the ole saying, “Every curse has a blessing, and every blessing has a curse” a run for its money. These hogs are being trapped and exterminated to reduce the chance of the genetic spread. Some civilians have moved back into their homes and even started to feed and take care of the wild hogs.
The hogs can be found in the abandoned neighborhoods of Fukushima. These regions are slowly being repopulated by civilization. With Japan’s lack of predators, the hogs are top of the food chain with humans being out of the picture. The wild pigs are harming the genetics of the domesticated farm pigs in the region. Scientists are are calling this a “biological invasion”. Hunters are handling the boars as quickly as they can to allow the relocation for the civilians to their abandoned neighborhoods. This story really makes you wonder, what does 2021 have in store for us next?
