Some animals possess the remarkable ability to sense impending earthquakes, often exhibiting unusual behaviors before seismic activity occurs. Research suggests that animals such as dogs, cats, and even elephants can detect changes in the Earth's magnetic field, vibrations, and even the release of gases from underground fault lines. For instance, studies have shown that dogs may bark excessively or act restless hours or even days before an earthquake hits, while elephants have been observed moving to higher ground in advance of seismic events. This phenomenon is still under investigation, but it highlights the extraordinary instincts and sensory capabilities of wildlife, suggesting that they may be more in tune with the Earth’s rhythms than humans are.
