off course they would, those that weren't just died of cancer.

I believe there's a city in Turkey (maybe Canakkale, I'm not sure) where there's a relatively high level of natural background radiation due to isotopes in the local rock. It's nowhere near the level of Chernobyl, but the fact that people have lived there for hundreds of years and don't seem to have higher rates of cancer would seem to support the idea that the body can adapt to low levels of radiation.

I worked in occupational radiation protection for many years (changed my career 20 years ago). There are very good records of ionizing radiation dose and long term health for a large population of humans. Long story short, the risks from chronic ionizing radiation exposure are low (driving to work every day is a much larger risk for most). And it is difficult to quantify exactly what the long-term risk of ionizing creation exposure actually is. Consequently, It doesn't surprise me that identifying ionizing exposure risk in a small group of wolves would be a difficult task. Even in an area where the dose rates are well above average.

Well, it's not like there is a Western diet and pervasive exposure to methylation dysrupting pesticides, flame retardants, and carpet glues around Chernobyl.

I often wondered whether the high number of tandem repeats in canids aided them in resisting radiation based mutations.

And who are you, the proud wolf said
your Sievert rates so low?
Only a man in a Hazmat suit
emits that greenish glow?

A coat of gold, a coat of lead
Your lying draws out my claws.
And mine are long and glow at night
Your survival rate now floors.

And so they joked, until of note:
their rotting face and ears
But now the rains fall in through holes
And new neutrino spikes appear.

And who are you, proud Alpha wolf said
I'd pack my shit, and go.
We're cancer proof and thrive again
Thanks for that old light show.

Most animals don't live long enough to get cancer.

''routine testing'' yeah about that... probably not the greatest way to frame negligent incompetence, when you're an advocate of nuclear energy.

But how do they hunt at night, if they glow in the Dark?

- We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago and the cancer will go away -
I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe.
Today April 26, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 100 thousand years ago.
On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past.
On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past.
On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago.
Anyone who does not believe that the climate changed for the reason I mentioned should wait for cancer to disappear very soon because of this reverse movement,
I will explain: the human body's immune system will be stimulated, activated and stronger as a result of this reverse process, which results in the disappearance of the cancer.

😂 Whomever goes to find out why, you are chasing wolves in a radiation zone. You have been warned.

Naturally selected cancer resistant genomes, so , hear me out, what if hypothetically we take a culture of pluripotent stem cells then massively bombard them with radiation until something like 10 million generations of cell has passed, sequence the genomes of remaining cells and compare to the 1st generations, identify the differences , then CRISPR in the anti-cancer naturally selected genome variations
