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.
