NATURE | Can Animals Predict Disaster? | Earthquakes | PBS

[INGcinema]

YES... on December 17 on Puerto rico there were 1 earthquake of 5.0 and the dog's wont stop barking.

[SuperDavis40]

I absolutely agree my dogs would not quit barking ,and there were nothing outside i checked everywhere.later that mornin on the news we had a small 2.5 earthquake.

[arepasheat]

I feel these changes in my body myself before quakes.

[Lisztman88]

Isn't that interesting. Can't get it peer reviewed because it's "nonsense". I wonder how many other areas of science that atrocity is committed...

[manfromregina]

And most of the NG clips are closed to reply.

animals can predict disaster.. trust me.. when an earthquake is coming.. my dog always sleep with me on my bed.. i think she is scared

Jim Berkland was a guest on "Coast to Coast AM" with George Noory on Friday morning, March 12, 2011. He appeared on the show in its opening segment, between 1am and 1:30am EST. I heard him. He was on the show to discuss the recent China and New Zealand quakes. He warned about a recent spike in abnormal animal activity (fish kills, etc) and said the quakes will only get worse between now and the vernal equinox on March 21. Approximately 90 minutes later, at 2:45 am EST, the 8.9 quake hit Japan.

@secretariat1256 Quake actually happend March 10 PST.. FOOL!

[secretariat1256]

@amitsdad No need to call names, amitsdad; that is a juvenile tactic used by liberals, little kids and union thugs. So I got the date wrong; no biggie. The day was correct. Berkland was a guest on the Thursday night - Friday morning show, as I wrote. On the East Coast, it was Friday morning the 11th. In Japan and throughout most of the world's time zones, the earthquake occurred on Friday the 11th. (The ONLY time zones in which the quake occurred on the 10th were Pacific and Hawaii-Aleutian.)

As a kid I remember in my country our neighbors cows suddenly begin to act weird ! they would move back an forth , lay down , get up ; and would make loud noise as if they where hungry ,I said to my self , they just ate ! minutes later there was an earthquake , I ran out tours the corn fields , then it stopped , I walked to the street ; and there I saw people kneeling down screaming to God for mercy ! it's incredible how humans remember God only in crisis situations !

[SubparPanda]

Shame people call his findings nonsense.When that tsunami hit animals were getting to safer ground hours before it happened

[Hunterz4eva]

Most animals hav six sense!

[LeMAD22]

Both my cat and my dog were sleeping before last month's earthquake here in eastern Canada.

[PoisenFanged]

@2:37 How does that happen in an earthquake?

[kancerzx]

He is right

[aurora990]

animals DO know danger is coming and we should pay attention to reports of unusual amount of cats and dogs missing and unusual animal behavior changes. when a 9.0 earthquake shook Indonesia and triggered a tsunami 5 years ago, there were no reports of any dead animals.

[ChocolatesABC]

people are always unwilling to accept new science and new concepts. We are stubborn that way. History is the proof; constantly scientists, doctors, philosophers and artists have been undermined, persecuted, ignored or plain laughed at because their theory or view is new and uncommon. And it is only years and years after their death do we discover that; 'hey, they were right after all' or 'hey, this guy was not mad, he was genius!' This is just another one for the history books.

[Singh778]

ur so right

[CanadaCraig]

As I see it - the probability of a theory being credible can often be gauged by how quickly it is dismissed by those who stand to lose their own credibility. "I refuse to play second fiddle to a house pet!!", says the self-proclaimed 'intellect'. But the more a person knows - the more they know how much more there is to know. In my quest for knowledge - I don't care WHERE I get it from. If 'fluffy the cat' is trying to tell me something - I'm all 'ears'. Craig!! :o)

[narcovice]

animals dont predict quales its tiny quakes are daily ongoing just we cant feel or notice them. look at my video maui quake 2 video shows the cats reaction of a barely moveable quake before the 6.5 disaster prrof of an animals reaction before the big one

[BOYKOILIEV2008]

Costa Rica earthquake on the 8th and on the 20th of January 2009

has been predicted in You Tube here:BOYKOILIEV2008

You see more than 300 World earthquake prognosis

for January 2009.

The plate tectonic do not makes the earthquakes.

The moon makes the earthquakes.

See what earthquake happend in Colombia on the 31st of January 2009.

we're conscious beings but it seems that animals are so connected with themselves and the vibrations of the earth that their instinct can tell them when something is coming, on a small scale most of us realize that our animals know when a storm is coming because you can notice the difference in their moods, and they usually come in from outside for shelter :) Everyone should listen to animals to some extent!!

[omarpodk]

I believe in animals. In some way they can feel magnetic changes on earth or in the tectonic plates. So, we need more research on that area.

[MrCerebro11]

@omarpodk Yea man I completely agree...I really think that if you look at all of these massive animal deaths over the past couple months can be associated if the changes in the magnetic north or tectonic plates like you said above...think about it . What animals really rely on these two the most? Fish and Birds for Migration....Think about it

[CapitanoGUC]

even mor pets get gets lost in the earth quakes. ......

[korndogg27]

it has been said for so long that animals are great predictor of earthquakes. they do unusual stuff. in the philippines, the crocodiles in the zoo would pile each other up. dogs and cats walk low like theyre sneaking... and fish near the waters jump crazy

[Bravebeauty]

This is not nonsense. I too have been predicting earthquakes since I began waking up yelling the Richter Scale of earthquakes that would occur 18 to 24 hours in the future. The news would report a Richter Scale and I would say, OH NO WAY, that was a 6.3, sure enough - it would be upgraded to MY RICHTER SCALE days sometimes weeks or even years later.

[handeyeguy]

@Bravebeauty wow. special gift

[uniquezter]

he has a dvd?

[renault1984]

fascinating

[chaosdimension24]

wow interesting :) Have to get the DVD
