Hundreds of boars damaged by radiation from the Fukushima disaster have taken over at least two towns in Japan, causing panicked residents to flee the area.  Following the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown six years ago, thousands of residents in towns and villages nearby were forced to leave their homes. Upon returning recently, however, they were greeted by angry mutant boars scavenging for food and rapidly reproducing in the area. It is believed that the boars ate food and plants that were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, causing them to mutate.

With humans long gone, and robots dying off amid the radiation, Fukushima has become home to 'something else'.

When the exclusion zone was set up almost exactly 6 years ago this week - with the surrounding towns population evacuated to a safe distance - The Mirror reports that hundreds of the wild boars, which have been known to attack people when enraged, descended from surrounding hills and forests into the deserted streets.

Is a major seismic event headed our way?

There is no way to know for sure, but science warns that hotspots like the San Andreas fault in Southern California are “overdue” for the big one, which frequently occurs every hundred years or so. If the earth doesn’t release enough steam from time to time, larger pressures can build up, creating event more catastrophic disasters.

Teams of hunters have been dispatched to towns inside the Fukushima exclusion zone to cull radioactive swine that have taken over the area. The animals, infected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster, have been roaming the towns with impunity for the last six years after residents were evacuated following the catastrophe The human residents are now being urged to return to their homes despite the dangerously high levels of radiation and the boar culling is planned to continue even after the evacuees return.
