How do animals anticipate earthquakes and tsunamis? How do they feel it coming?
In: Biology
I’ve never seen any evidence to support the claim that animals somehow predict earthquakes before they happen. Some waves do travel faster than others, and humans aren’t great at detecting them unaided, and some animals may be able to, but that would be a minute beforehand, not in anticipation of the quake happening at all.
What’s likely happening is that the dog acts a bit weird (as they often do), and then 20 minutes later the earthquake hits and AHA! He was barking because he saw it coming!
The times when no earthquake hits, we forget he acted weird.
