Poem
After the doomsday clock struck midnight... a blizzard of blinding demoniacal highly radioactive fueled banshees (analogous to a bajillion barenaked ladies raging against the machine) barreled across the brutalized landscape affixing fiendish scorched earth signature whereby survivors felt like foreigners, or strangers in a strange dystopian land as tempestuous thermonuclear generated sinister mushroom clouds unleashed courtesy abominable terrestrial beastie boys foo fighting, nirvana frankly zapped after purportedly brilliant, yet simple minds ginned up ingenuity to smash the atom, (a process called nuclear fission occurred, where the nucleus split into smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of radiation and heat) triggering one after another monster mashing vortex howling day and night issuing ear splitting deafening wind screaming across the desolate domain instantaneously usurping (since the tapestry of the human league throughout countless millenniums stitched and wove together from threadbare nasty, short and brutish hominids to twenty first century Homo sapiens comprising the warp and weft of the webbed wide world, and unfortunately could not take shelter (whether with or without mother's little helper) would succumb videre licet total global destruction and mortal Kombat rendered instantaneously extinct courtesy ferocious genii wreaking irrevocable havoc analogous to battered pockmarked moonscape, whereby yours truly barely escaped unscathed within nick of time, I sought safe refuge within spacious bunker (stocked with miscellaneous amenities - such as dry and canned goods, filtered water and select reading material) from the sheltering sky, nevertheless some creatures that might survive a nuclear war include: Tardigrades These microscopic creatures, also known as water bears or moss bears, are extremely resistant to radiation. They can withstand radiation doses that are 5,000 grays, compared to 480–680 grays for German cockroaches and 4–10 grays for humans. Deinococcus radiodurans This organism is possibly the most radiation-resistant organism known, able to withstand 1,000 times the radiation dose that would kill a human. Mummichog These tiny fish can survive high amounts of radiation due to their ability to modify their genes and bodies to suit their environment. Cockroaches Cockroaches are well-equipped to rebound after a cataclysmic event due to their diverse means of reproduction. Naked mole rats These animals live in underground colonies where they are constantly exposed to high levels of radiation. They have evolved protective mechanisms to help them survive in this radioactive environment. Bankos These small, mouse-like creatures thrive in the most radioactive parts of the Chernobyl exclusion zone. They have developed enhanced DNA repair mechanisms that allow them to handle radiation doses that would be fatal to their relatives living elsewhere. Wild boars These animals have developed higher levels of natural antioxidants, helping them fight off radiation damage.
