More on tsunami and animals senses

A month ago Blue Moos published The sixth sense, a tsunami related story about animals who detected abnormal activity of the nature, reacted the next second and saved their lives. In update part there is also a story about Khao Lak Trumpets, describing chained elephants who were crying and trumpeting in their efforts to get free and run away. They finally broke chains, lifted some people with their trunks on their backs and fled to higher ground.
A columnist Peta India wrote very interesting article where she describes different species of animals and their "sensoring system" for problems.

"Living on their own in the wild, their home, animals develop and keep sharp their senses so that they can take care of themselves in case of predictable danger. They also learn to observe other animals' signals. So, a sea gull flying over the sea may sense a storm and come back to the mainland and the monkeys sitting on the trees will see this and take action. The monkeys' calls and their flight to safety will in turn tell the other animals of the jungle. In this way, animals have cleverly survived many natural disasters."
