ANIMAL BEHAVIOR AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Natural environments have baselines of normal activity just as urban or suburban regions do. Animals, in particular, have historically predicted natural disasters up to two weeks in advance. In 1975, Chinese officials observed hibernating snakes unexpectedly emerging from their burrows, so they immediately ordered the evacuation of the city of Haicheng. Several hours later an earthquake of 7.3 magnitude struck. In Indonesia, local fishermen discovered an unusual pattern of fish migration two weeks prior to the tsunami. They tried to warn officials but were ignored. In addition, flocks of shore birds were seen abandoning their seaside nests days before the incident. Hours before the tsunami struck, elephants were seen actually sprinting up into the hills. In general, many animals’ sensory perceptions can pick up on environmental disturbances even ahead of modern technology. Dogs, cats, and livestock often seem unduly agitated before a disaster strikes. Be alert to changes in animal behavior as part of your situational awareness when in rural or more natural environments.
