Bikini Atoll Coconut Crabs. The golden sand of bikini atoll is laced with plutonium. On bikini atoll, coconut trees were left entirely stripped; The alteration of the genetic makeup of bikini atoll’s fauna has displayed a complex web of resilience and adaptation. Coconut crabs, known for their size and strength, show signs of genetic adaptation enabling them to cope in a mutated In the 1940s and ’50s, the u.s. Between 1946 and 1958, the united states military detonated several nuclear bombs in the area, wiping out plants and wildlife, and leaving behind a toxic wasteland. The coconut crabs contain hazardous levels of cesium. The bikini atoll—a series of limestone formations in the pacific ocean that comprise part of the marshall islands—is, or rather was, a tropical paradise. The freshwater is poisoned with strontium. The islanders began to show signs of radiation poisoning. Some 70 years after the united states dropped 23 nuclear bombs, bikini atoll is slowing blooming to life. Bikini atoll, the site of 23 nuclear tests from 1946 to 1958, may now also be known as the place of the discovery of new insights into how other species prevent cancer.
