It is faszinating and funny that we haven't figured out how animals sense upcoming earthquakes and cannot reproduce that, but modern technology might give us the ability to observe animals well enough to get the earthquake warnings from them.
On the other side, if this works out, there is a good chance to use the gained observation data to make progress in u nderstanding the animals capabilites and behavior.
- freeflight 8y agoMakes me wonder if humans also used to have a similar ability/sense, but just lost it over time. Maybe it's still there but our hyper-conscious nature just drowns out such subconscious/instinctual signals?
- taeric 8y agoBe fair, though. Individual animals are likely terrible at predicting stuff like this. In aggregate, they are probably ok. Not perfect, mind. Just ok. It isn't like animals don't have a history of also getting killed in earthquakes or other natural disasters.
