Monkeys Climb Trees Before Tsunamis
Monkeys vocalize loudly and climb trees before tsunamis or earthquakes. Eyewitnesses reported monkeys screeching and ascending trees before the 2004 Andaman tsunami. Their agility and excellent hearing help them detect distant rumbles or approaching waves. This behavior gives them crucial extra minutes to reach safety before disaster strikes. Indigenous tribes in tsunami-prone regions traditionally pay close attention to monkey behavior as a natural warning system.
