Theres probably some animals with teeth growing in weird places, like inside tumors. Does that count?

cancer is probably more likely than mutations for the affected creatures

Cosmic rays, that's where the money is.

I was into cosmic rays until i found out about virally transmitted dna, that stuff seems more possible to move traits around

I was all chilling out and mellow when Z-consciousness

A mutated teddy bear found in one of the Chernobyl classrooms

sorry dude, just earthworms that are 30% bigger than their non Chernobyl peers.

stop deluding me!

>>1470929
Really? because if thats true, thats pretty cool.

Why don't we farm worms for food? Theyre like readymade hotdogs, or meat spaghetti

wait how did that bear kill all those penguins, polar bear exist in the north pole while penguins exist only in the south pole, just saying

worm related

"A herd of Przewalski's horses roams Ukraine's Chernobyl "exclusion zone." These small horses were once found throughout the grassy plains of Mongolia (see map), but hunting and habitat loss caused the species to go extinct in the wild.

The lands near Chernobyl were blanketed by radiation two decades ago by the infamous nuclear reactor explosion. But a group of captive-bred horses released in the region in the 1990s, along with native wildlife, is now thriving there."

Aww... no mutations they are actually thriving :(

right now worm meat costs like 10 times what steak costs per pound, and despite a few attempts by worm farmers, it's doubtful it will ever be popular enough to get economies of scale to reduce cost.

That's how it works. When species start dying off, the other species that were able to adapt have way less competition, and thrive.

Thats really weird, since I assume worms don't need to be fed expensive corn

>>1470990
maintaing production worm beds is very labor intensive from what I understand.

How did these things survive in the wild if they need so much frigging coddling!
