A recent investigation by scientists at the USA Geological Survey shows that strange animal

behaviour might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a

ten kilometer radius of the epicenter 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 mishap. In 1976 after

observing the animal behaviour the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake.



Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed the government was able to evacuate

millions of other and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
