Mmmkay, so there is this scientific facility right, and during pre-war it worked on making a certain plant that works like meat, it was meant to solve mass production of meat and food crisis around the world.
But during the war the place kinda collapse, out of the ruins the plant started growing again, this plant was what everyone feared of biologically enhanced food though, it changes you if you eat it for a long period of time, mutates you and gives you an incredible sensation for blood.
So after a couple of decades it had spread across a laaaarge area, covering the land with it's blood-red plants, certain animals started taking up place here, boars, rabbits and snakes mostly.
The rabbits were of some reason attracted to these plants and started eating them and after generations of eating them they had transformed into something else, they're the size of a boar with no lips to cover it's teeth and almost shark like teeth pattern, they are big, strong and hunt in large packs.
The boars mutated differently, due to the rabbits increased size and muscles they mutated into something differently to counter it, they are vague representations of what they once were, no hair along their bodies with large back legs that they use to charge their foes with, their tusks are enlarged so that when they charge they bend down their heads and upon impact they impale their victim with their razorsharp tusks.
The snakes started eating the rabbits while they were still small, and their bodies learned quickly to mutated larger to the size of anacondas.
But size isn't everything, they needed an extra push, so they developed 6 legs to support their weight and length and two arms with claws to quickly kill it's prey.
The snakes no longer had "time" to eat their prey, they had to do it swiftly and mutated accordingly.
