SOME ANIMALS CAN PREDICT FUTURE EARTHQUAKES
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior
might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of
the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly: dogs yelped and ran
around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before
the mishap.
In 1976, after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake. Although
hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other
people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
