Must be the everlasting gobbstoppers. Or environmental maybe? 🤔

The blue dogs have shown up before in Russia but I don’t remember if it was Chernobyl.

There were wild blue dogs somewhere else in Russia several years ago. I can’t remember the reason. In retrospect, there probably wasn’t much sense in posting.

Guessing some dye spilled somewhere. Genetic mutation expression in fur can’t happen in a week.
But, I hope I’m wrong and it’s some x-dogs shit.

This happens here with boar sometimes. People spread diphacinone-laced bait to deal with a rodent problem. The bait has a green or blue dye in it that is designed to be absorbed into the tissues of any animal that consumes it so that 1) rodents killed by the bait can be identified; and 2) anything that isn’t a rodent that eats the bait or the rodent that ate the bait can be identifies, e.g. a boar someone might have hunted. The blue meat means “Don’t eat me. I am full of poison.”

In California wild pigs have been showing up with blue meat(I don’t know if the skin is blue) but it’s from the pigs eating rat poison. Maybe the dogs are eating dead rats??

Can you really call anything in Chernobyl “mysterious”?
