Automatic photography of wild animal in chernobyl zone


   Present results of wild animal study by using of automatic camera. All pictures were created directly on the territory of Chernobyl zone of alienation.
   At the beginning of 2000, photo shooting of animals began in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone using automatic photo cameras by the Slavutich International Radioecological Laboratory in cooperation with the Texas Tech University. Over many years of studies a significant volume of photographs of animals of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has been amassed. Now we have a chance to see these unique photos, which show animals in the natural conditions. You will also see Red Book animals of the Zone – a badger and many others. Most of the photos were taken in nighttime, which reduces somewhat the quality of the pictures, but allows seeing the free life of animals.
