The Horses of Chernobyl

"Animals are thriving in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, even if they are more radioactive than usual. With the humans gone, herds of the critically endangered Przewalski's horse have been introduced to the Zone. But the population of this wild horse is now dwindling due to poachers, who are consuming the flesh of Chernobyl's equine inhabitants."
