I think this would be fun to find out the results, put the information into the super computer we all paid for.
Reporting Strange Behavior Sheldrake disagrees. Comparable patterns of animal behavior prior to earthquakes have been reported independently by people all over the world, he said. "I cannot believe that they could all have made up such similar stories or that they all suffered from tricks of memory." More research is needed and is long overdue, said Sheldrake, who proposes a special hotline or Web site where people could call or write in if they saw strange behavior in their animals. A computer would then analyze the incoming messages to determine where they originated. A sudden surge of calls or e-mails from a particular region might indicate that a quake was imminent. The information would be checked to make sure the observations were not caused by other circumstances known to affect the behavior of animals, such as fireworks, or changes in weather. And to avoid issuing false warnings, Sheldrake said, the data would be used in conjunction with other monitoring devices such as seismological measurements. "Such a project would capture the imagination of millions of people, encourage large-scale public participation and research—and would be fun," he said. "What is holding this research back is not money but dogmatism and narrow-mindedness." |

Oh I agree with that. That would be an easier way to study the theory. Instead of using just a few animals in a lab.

I think it would be a better study, than how many earth worms there are in any given acre of land.

Amen to that!

Another report on animals predicting earth's fields. From National Geographic.
Some creatures, for instance, may be able to “hear” infrasound, — sounds produced by natural phenomena, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and storms, that are inaudible to the human ear. This ability may give elephants and other animals enough time to react and flee to safety. Another explanation may lie in animals’ sensitivities to electromagnetic field variations. Quantum geophysicist Motoji Ikeya has found that certain animals react to changes in electrical currents. He now regularly monitors a catfish, the most sensitive of the creatures he has tested, to aid him in warning others of coming disaster. Follow NATURE as it reexamines ancient ideas about how animals can predict disaster which are now gaining credence in scientific circles. |

Amen to that! Another one I just ran across, is a study of how many women after a prom night will become mothers. |

I like this from a researcher;
I would love to see a list of natural disaster events correlated by animal and type of displayed behaviour with the lead time to said event and said displayed behaviour. This would be the beginning of “Real” science. Furthermore, after an indisputable body of observations have been collected, an exploration into the mechanisms of such sensory perceptions needs to be investigated in order to apply these scientific findings in a useful way towards developing better disaster early-warning systems, since it is not practical for everyone to keep herds of elephants and whales, as well as flocks of birds and tanks of catfish on hand. As for the comments regarding animals being “smart” based on the inferred premise that heightened sensory perception = higher intelligence, you have most definitely proved at the very least that animals appear to be smarter than some humans; particularly those who post on Nature articles. |

Just found this on when animals warn us why do we not listen. Bears, deer will run for the mountains as far away as they can. Horses will bolt and run and cattle will become restless and stampede. During the last Tsunami the elephants were acting up and strangely enough the native people ignored this sign in them. In fact, they couldn't control the elephants and the elephants made a fast retreat for higher ground. One native noticed this and yelled out to follow the elephants and it's a good thing they did. The Indians in Western countries can tell when weather is going to change by the actions of beetles and other bugs or even how birds act. Yes they do. They feel and hear these things before humans do. I have two parrots, and they squawk uncontrollably right before an earthquake. Dogs and cats will most likely be ultra calm and clingy. They might hide, or act abnormally. My cat before the earthquake that just hit Illinois, was freakishly odd for an entire day beforehand. He woke me up repeatedly, and meowed and meowed all night long trying to get me out of bed. just before the earthquake happened he bit my nose to wake me up, then hid under the bed. afterwards, he came out to make sure I was OK. He also predicted the aftershocks by about 20 minutes apiece. I was impressed. |

Animals often let you know when a disaster is imminent. For example, if you see a dog hike his leg next to a white sofa you can be certain that a disaster is about to occur. :)
