Pets feel earthquake

Almost all Pets in advance feel the approach of natural disasters, and their prevention can save your life.

In the winter of 1975, the authorities of one of the Chinese cities with the million population were given the order to evacuate the population because of the strange behavior of dogs. A few days after the evacuation, an earthquake of magnitude 7.3 on the Richter scale, which almost completely destroyed the city. At many seismic stations in the world have Pets whose behavior is closely monitored. And in Romania, the seismic station Vrancea, observe the behavior of parrots and exotic fish. Their instinct never fails. Before the big earthquake a big fish trying to jump out of the aquarium, and the parrots try to escape from the cage.

Dogs with very acute hearing, especially small dogs with pointy ears or a guard dog, able to feel the big earthquake a few days or hours before it occurs. Some of them run out of the house and become aggressive. It is also recognized and the ability of cats to anticipate a natural disaster. They become restless and very loud meowing at the door to attract the attention of the owners. Other cats are trying to find safe shelter for wardrobes.

If you have parrots, please be careful when they fly randomly around the room or beating at the bars of the cage. This is a sure sign that something serious. Even if they were born in captivity and live in an apartment, budgerigars can feel the approach of earthquakes is stronger than three or four points about 15 minutes before it occurs. Aquarium fish are also very good and seismologists warn about the earthquake four hours before it starts.

Why animals feel, and we don't?

Experts have several explanations for the ability of animals to feel earthquakes in advance, but none of them has been completely proved:

• birds are very sensitive to the magnetic flux of the Earth and respond to any changes, and the fish feel the earth currents (electric currents flowing in the soil);
• most of the animals with excellent hearing, respond to ultrasounds emitted by the tectonic plate for a few days or weeks before a big earthquake;
• animals feel the changes of the electric field and become restless before strong thunderstorms.
