2. Elephants Noticing Tsunamis
In the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, reports emerged of elephants fleeing to higher ground before the waves struck. Eyewitnesses observed elephants in Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park running away from the coast approximately an hour before the tsunami hit. Experts suggest that elephants’ acute senses, particularly their ability to detect low-frequency sounds and vibrations, may enable them to sense seismic activities or disturbances in the water that precede such disasters.
