what can animals sense that they react to oncoming disaster before we are aware of it?

Answer 1

I've heard that they can sense changes in barometric pressure and high/low frequency sounds that we cannot hear.

Answer 2

All animals can sense to the oncoming disaster.

The only animals who cannot sense it it the Human Being...

Answer 3

There is much anecdotal evidence suggesting that some animals have the ability to detect sensory stimuli which humans can not-- even with our most sensitive technological instruments. That many animals have access to a perceptual range exceeding those of humans is scientifically well-established, but it also appears that many animals have sensory abilities not currently explained by traditional science....


Although the majority of accounts pertain to dogs and cats, there are also many stories about other types of animals in the wild, on farms, and in zoos; including horses, cows, deer, goats, possums, rats, chickens, and other birds. The behavior has been reported in many other animal species as well, including fish, reptiles, and even insects. Deep sea fish, for example, have been caught close to the surface of the ocean on numerous occasions around Japan prior to earthquakes (Tributsch, 1982).

Some fish-- catfish in particular-- are reputed to become agitated before earthquakes, and at times have been reported to actually leap out of the water onto dry land. Snakes have been known to leave their underground places of hibernation in the middle of the winter prior to quakes, only to be found frozen on the surface of the snow. Mice are commonly reported to appear dazed before quakes, and allow themselves to easily be captured by hand. Homing pigeons are said to take much longer to navigate to their destination prior to earthquakes. Hens have been reported laying fewer eggs, or no eggs at all, and pigs have been observed aggressively trying to bite one another before earthquakes (Tributsch, 1982).

Bees have been seen evacuating their hive in a panic, minutes before an earthquake, and then not returning until fifteen minutes after the quake ended. Even creatures such as millipedes, leeches, squid, and ants have been reported to exhibit abnormal behavior prior to earthquakes (Miller, 1996).

Answer 4

Most animals (opertive word: most) can sense (that is one of their senses) magnetic ruptures and other diasters, before they happen. That is why they feel stuff with earthquakes and tsunami's. I'm not sure, but I don't think Primates have the abilty to sense magnetic fields like other animals.

Answer 5

They are usually more in tune with the earth in general than humans are--since we like to encase ourselves most of the time in concrete, plastic, and steel. They pick up on signals that we probably could sense, too, if we paid the right kind of attention.

Answer 6

Well, you have to understand that animals are not advanced like we are, so they will have certain traits to make up for it.
hope this helped.
