(1,5ms) A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences about ten kilometers from where a recent earthquake took place. Some birds made strange sounds and flew about wildly, dogs barked and ran around uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can sense these environmental changes as early as several days before the disasters. In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese scientists were able to predict a terrifying earthquake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level. a.
