Can anyone adequately explain why most animals seemed to escape the tsunami in SE Asia?

Question

While thousands of people were killed.

Answer 1

Actually many mammals were recorded as fleeing to higher ground before the tsunami, even before the water's edge starts receding (best way to tell if a tsunami is coming). The earth vibrates at a constant frequency, which is not noticeable to humans, but still effects us (a result of natural selection). Animals however can sense changes in the frequency, which is directly determined by local shifts such as the weather. That is why animals seem to have a certain prescience concerning the weather.

Answer 2

Not many animals in the area did survive. Some had reportedly ran away before anyone knew what was going on. Scientist believe it is their extreme sensitivity to vibrations on the ground that warned them that something huge was coming their way. Elephants are especially keen to vibrations.



You sound like you just can't believe any animals died, do you think there is some strange phenomenon going on here or what??? Many many bodies, human and animal, were taken out to sea.

Answer 3

Oh the animals died along with the humans. There were lots of fish scattered all over the place for instance.

Answer 4

Animals have super senses such as hearing or feel, giving them a heads up on the tsunami. people dont have those senses and it didnt help that they were taping the huge wave

Answer 5

how do you know? people were more interested in filming what was happening to humans not cows. it seems to me you're assuming something you have no evidence for so you can hear someone tell you something *magical* about animals seeing the future or whatever....

Answer 6

Animals are much more sensitive to their environment - while human's use their brains to live.



Thats what they're programmed to do, its their nature. To stay alert, sense any and all changes in their environment, and to run when threatened.

Answer 7

Government cover up.....What kind of question is that....Do you know some animals that personally escaped????

Answer 8

i've heard that most animals can sense natural disasters way before technology can even sense it.
