While humans have cells that are dividing constantly, roaches molt about once a week at most, which makes radiationвЂ™s window of opportunity to attack cells much smaller. When cells divide, they are at their most vulnerable to radiation.

It is the CockroachesвЂ™ skin (exoskeleton) shedding cycles that gives it a greater tolerance for radiation exposure. Although a cockroach within the blast radius of any nuclear explosion would be incinerated just like anything else, roaches would be better able to cope with the fallout as they are able to tolerate much higher levels of radiation than humans. How is this possible? They are built to survive. Man will be destroyed but the Cockroach will continue adapting and surviving.

It has been said that the Cockroach will be among the only survivors of a massive nuclear event. They are the ultimate survivalists, even eating glue, soap or leather to stay alive. During the Crustaceous period (100 million years ago, during the age of dinosaurs), their ability to adapt enabled them to survive the mass extinction events that wiped out the dinosaurs.Д¬ockroaches have evolved from ancient predatory creatures, actively hunting and capturing prey, into omnivorous nocturnal scavengers, eating whatever is available. Roaches made their first appearance over 280 million years ago. The fact is, that Cockroaches are a very interesting and resilient pest that exhibits some very odd behavior and survival tactics and are among the most successful animals on earth. 40 to 50 million year old coackroach in Baltic Amber
