Yes, elephants and almost all other animals can predict earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and most of mother natures unpredictable weather changes. It would be wise to watch the actions of wild animals, horses or even your dog or cat for clues to an on-coming earthquake. Even beetles will show signs of mother nature starting her changes on planet earth. There was a scenario when Thailand was struck by the Tsunami. The elephants were trying to get to higher ground, but their owners didn't pay attention and tried to restrain them, but some elephants managed to cut loose and headed for higher ground with people following them. It was those people who survived thanks to the elephants. The owners said that from now on they are going to listen to their elephants.

Elephants use infrasonic waves because that way they can be heard miles away for multiple reasons. Some reasons such as a female telling guys that she is ready to mate, or to ask other elephants hows it going. I think we as humans will never really know what elephants say. But I hoped I helped.
