 Can animals predict natural disasters, such as earthquakes or tsunamis?



The phenomenon of animals displaying peculiar behavior prior to natural disasters has been a subject of interest and speculation for centuries. While numerous anecdotes recount instances of animals seemingly sensing impending earthquakes, tsunamis, or other catastrophic events, scientific understanding in this realm remains elusive.Researchers have investigated various hypotheses to explain these observed behaviors. 

One theory posits that animals may be sensitive to changes in the Earth's magnetic field or infrasound inaudible low-frequency sounds—associated with seismic activity. Others suggest that animals could be responding to subtle environmental cues, such as changes in groundwater or gas emissions.Despite intriguing cases where animals, including domestic pets, wildlife, and marine creatures, have reportedly exhibited unusual behavior before disasters, the scientific community faces challenges in establishing a clear cause-and-effect relationship.
