A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that strange
animal behavior might help predict future earthquake.
Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the center of a fairly
recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly. Dogs yelped and ran
uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as
several days before the disaster.

quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was
able to evacuate millions of people and thus keep the death toll at a lower rate.
