Why the Chernobyl Accident Failed to Kill Wild Boars

The Chernobyl accident failed to kill wild boars due to the following reasons123:
Legacy of nuclear weapons testing: Radioactive contamination from nuclear weapons detonated over 60 years ago contributes to the boars' contamination.
Cesium-137 and cesium-135: These isotopes play a significant role in the persistence of radioactivity in wild boar meat.
Favorite food: The boars' consumption of truffles, which are also contaminated, contributes to their radioactivity levels.
