Can animals really feel earthquakes?

The idea that animals can feel an earthquake is popular and unofficial stories about animals that behave strangely in front of large earthquakes have been narrated for centuries. However, the debate on whether the animals could actually feel an earthquake has not solved this question, despite research in several regions susceptible to the earthquake in the world. Some scientists believe that animals can actually feel earthquakes because they are more susceptible to gentle environmental changes than humans. Others, however, argue that there are many causes of strange behavior of animals and that many of them are a human psychological aspect involved in the claim that animals can feel an earthquake. It turned out that animals are more sensitive to ultrasonic waves such as weaker P-vlny, which precede the large earthquake. It's possible animals can feel an earthquake for a few seconds before people do it. In rare cases, the earthquake may be preceded by regulations that people do not have to detect without specialized devices, andle may be felt by animals. Other scientists have suggested that animals can feel chemical or electrical changes in the Earth's area, which could be an earthquake indicator.

Other seismologists feel that there are no strong scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can feel earthquakes. They suggest that human psychology can be involved, because domestic animals may want to assign premonitions to their animals. The best way to conduct an animal's behavior with an earthquake activity would be to have a hot line that domestic owners can call at any time to report odd behavior that seismologists could then associate with real earthquake data. Animal Behaviorists also have a point that there are many causes of strange behavior of animals and that some pets may behave erratically before the earthquake but for unrelated reasonat.

whether animals can detect earthquakes before people remain to be seen. In several regions of earthquakes outside the United States, seismologists try to create strong scientific studies that could help determine the level of animal sensitivity as part of a greater effort to learn to predict the earthquake. For the time being, the earthquake people should assure themselves that they have disasters at hand and should deal with more secular causes of irregular animal behavior, such as basic health.
