Can animals sense earthquakes? Science investigates
Can animals sense earthquakes? For years there have been reports of animals acting differently leading up to earthquakes. Science investigates. Image via vizslafotozas/ Pixabay.
- Some animals show unusual behavior before earthquakes. Are they sensing subtle signals such as vibrations, gas releases or electrical changes?
- Scientific evidence is inconsistent, and no behavior pattern reliably predicts when or where a quake will strike.
- Researchers continue studying animal behavior.
