How do dogs react before an earthquake occurs?

Answer 1

They can because they know when to get away. They can feel it in the Earth by the vibrations going through it.

Yes they can, there are two theries discovered by scientists sofar;

1. They can feel the earth/ground shake before any humans can,

2. That gasses are released when an earthquake is going to happen and that the animals can sense the gasses that were released.

Answer 2

Yes, some can, but some animals are more sensitive than others. There was a region in China that even implemented a call line of odd animal behavior to research its effacacy in earthquake prediction. Basically they were seeing if a spike in call volume correlated with an imminent earthquake. (from Rupert Sheldrake's "Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home"). I do not know how that ultimately worked out (i do not know how to aquire that data), but odd/unusual/uneasy behavior in a variety of animals has been observed and recorded by many people. Yes its a fact. it has been noticed that before an earthquake occurs, animals change their behavior patterns and start acting hastily. They tend to run about and cattle reduce their grazing amount, thus giving little milk. The exact reason for this is still a matter of debate and the topic has become a separate topic of study among many scientists of fields like parapsychology and animal behavioral sciences. Animals have reacted to many different types of disasters including storms, earthquakes and others.

Answer 3

Mostly dogs will whine or try to escape the house trying to out run the earthquake.

They can sencse it my dogs me and a friend where walking my dog and shestarted crying and hiding under the neighboors car and the other one was running toward our house!

Answer 4

Yes they can. It is known for dogs to sense earthquakes from 5 to 10 minutes before they happen. Usually the dog runs away, barks, or howls.

Answer 5

yes dogs will usually howl before an earthquake because they can sense danger.
