Can Animals Predict Earthquakes?

The video explores the phenomenon of animals reportedly sensing earthquakes before they occur. While many reports exist, most are anecdotal. Scientific studies in Japan and Italy have shown changes in animal behavior before earthquakes, suggesting potential for early warning systems. The Icarus project aims to track animal movements globally to analyze patterns. Despite evidence, the exact mechanism of how animals sense earthquakes remains unknown, with hypotheses including sensing vibrations or environmental changes.

What changes in animal behavior were observed in the study conducted in Italy before an earthquake?

Why is it important to track multiple species of animals when studying their behavior before earthquakes?

How might understanding animal behavior help in predicting earthquakes?
