earthquakes recent studies try to

understand how animals sense Quakes
0:10
while research continues some theories

explain this intriguing ability

sensitivity to primary waves p waves one
0:17
Theory says animals detect primary waves
0:19
p waves before Quakes p waves are the
0:22
fastest seismic waves traveling up to 8
0:24
km/ second through Earth's crust humans
0:27
can't feel these subtle waves but
0:28
animals with enhanced senses might
0:30
p waves release a low frequency sound
0:32
and vibrations before the main Quake
0:35
some animals like elephants and whales
0:36
communicate using low frequencies this
0:38
may help them perceive the first Tremors
0:40
of an impending Quake researchers
0:42
suggest animals ability to hear and feel
0:44
low frequency vibrations allows early

detection their hide and senses act as
0:48
an early warning system before humans
