Do you believe that animals can predict disasters?


There are many arguments that suggest that animals hearing disasters is foolish. On the other hand there are many who say that animals can predict disasters. The people who say animals can predict disasters have run various test on animals, specifically elephants. There is a test where an elephant is placed on a platform that vibrates. They had did very low vibrations, vibrations that even humans could not feel. They would know the elephant felt the vibration by training the elephant to touch the right pole if the elephant was eighty percent right.

Another way they know that animals can sense disasters is because of the Tsunami on December 26th. Elephants in Thailand were wailing wildly and running for higher grounds, herds of antelope in India stampeding to get away from the shoreline as fast as possible; flamingos who were mating stopped and fled the Indian coast.

The third way that some animals can predict natural disasters is that they "hear" infrasound. Infrasound are sounds produced by natural phenomena, which can be earthquakes, volcanoes, and storms, that the human ear can not hear. Infrasound gives some animals a chance to flee before a natural disaster happens. The facts that are in this article indicates that I do believe that animals can predict naturl disasters.
