Yep, but that is what is out there and this was National Geographic.

Which makes it even worse. Now I question all of their articles. If this one is completely bogus, how can I trust the rest?

   I may be stepping over the line a bit into PolySci but the article has no facts to support the title and draws conclusions from suppositions, something I see in political debate all the time. Start with an assumption and make the story fit it. Because radiation is known to cause mutations and the wolves travel long distances you may be spreading mutation beyond the Chernobyl area suppositions that insinuate a fact.

You would think that the people responsible for the trackment of that wolf would determine if he has mutations present in his biosystem. The non-reporting of this information gives me two conclusions:
1) the people do not care if there are mutations
2) there are no mutations present
From these I surmise:
#1would yield a story of a different magnitude.
#2 would yield no interest and no story.
Neither of these contradict my view of NatGeo.
