Running Wild in Chernobyl
A worker in the so-called exclusion zone around Ukraine's ill-fated Chernobyl nuclear power plant lures a wild Przewalski's horse. Seventeen Przewalski's horses were brought to the Chernobyl zone in the late 90s for scientific purposes to watch radioactive influence upon animals after the fatal 1986 explosion. Today, the steeds number between 80 and 90, and the area around Chernobyl is one of the few places in the world where they still roam free.
