Large movements of the ground are preceded by smaller movements which cause small vibrations. Animals in many cases pay more attention to small vibrations of the ground than people do. Of course, we live in a noisy world, in which a passing truck can also make the ground vibrate, so it can be difficult to know when a vibration is meaningful. Animals may become agitated just before an earthquake, but they may also become agitated for many other reasons.

It is not possible to predict an earthquake yet. But many scientists believe animals can predict earthquakes.
