University of South Carolina : CHERNOBYL ABNORMALITIES
MORPHOLOGICAL ABNORMALITIES HAVE BEEN WIDELY REPORTED IN THE BIRDS OF THE CHERNOBYL REGION. IT IS NOT YET KNOWN IF SIMILAR ABNORMALITIES WILL OCCUR IN FUKUSHIMA. IF YOU SEE AN ABNORMAL BIRD, INSECT, OR PLANT PLEASE REPORT THIS TO MOUSSEAU@SC.EDU. PLEASE INCLUDE INFORMATION CONCERNING TIME AND LOCATION OF SIGHTING, AND INCLUDE A PHOTO OR VIDEO IF POSSIBLE.
