"Not Only Oarfish, 11 Animals Believed to Be Signs of Disaster"

"The animals recorded by divers in the waters of Taiwan generally inhabit depths of the sea ranging from about 700 to even 3,280 feet."

Not Only Oarfish, These 11 Animals Are Believed to Indicate Disasters

The Oarfish, which has a length of between 1 to 7 meters, is often considered a sign of an impending tsunami disaster.

According to Liputan6.com, The Telegraph once published an article about the oarfish that appeared in the waters before earthquakes occurred in Chile and Haiti in 2010. Nevertheless, scientists remain skeptical about the idea that the appearance of oarfish could be used as a sign of an impending earthquake. However, did you know that it's not just oarfish; there are 10 other animals that are often considered as signs of disaster? What are those animals? Let's take a look at the following list!

The translation of "1. Hiu" to English is "1. Shark".

"Water animals, including sharks, are animals that have sensitivity to changes in water temperature. Sharks can predict the presence of storms and usually gather in areas where large storms are expected to occur. This behavior is triggered by their instincts that tend to hunt prey during storms."

"2. Stork"

"When the disaster of the earthquake and tsunami struck Aceh and Nias, there were signs given by the storks before the event."

Birds that usually engage in normal activities around the beach suddenly gather and fly away from the beach area. This incident caused herons to be considered animals that can detect natural disasters.

The translation of "3. Ular\u00a0" to English is "3. Snake ".

This reptile is believed to be able to detect the potential for earthquake disasters. This event was recorded when an earthquake struck China during the winter.

"The snakes that usually experience a hibernation period during the winter, instead come out from their hiding places and move away from the disaster center. This event raises the belief that snakes have the ability to provide early signs of an earthquake."

The translation of "4. Katak " to English is "4. Frog ".

According to research from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, frogs are suspected to have the ability to act as earthquake detectors. In situations leading up to an earthquake, it is highly likely that frogs will respond by moving away from the epicenter to save themselves.

The translation of "5. Semut Merah" to English is "5. Red Ant".

The study conducted by Gabriele Berberich from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany shows that ants have the ability to detect earthquakes. When an earthquake is about to occur, ants will actually remain on guard at night, even though this makes them vulnerable to predator attacks.

The ability of ants to detect this disaster is based on changes in the electromagnetic field on Earth and their ability to sense carbon dioxide emissions before the disaster occurs. When these signs appear, ants will immediately disperse from the nest and migrate to a place considered safer.

"6. Bee"

"The bee has the ability to detect humidity levels in the atmosphere."

"This ability is beneficial for them to quickly take protective measures when humidity in the environment increases. When bees sense an increase in air humidity as a sign of rain, they will fly back to their hive."

"7. Cat"

The text translated to English while preserving the HTML tags is: "Pets that are very loved by many people also fall into the category of animals that can detect natural disasters. Before the occurrence of a natural disaster, cats often display unusual behavior, such as becoming easily stressed and tending to be aggressive. It is estimated that cats can sense the threat of natural disasters through their sensitive hearing."

"8. Dog"

"Besides cats, pets that have the ability to predict extreme weather changes. Dogs, for example, often show reactions such as shivering and trembling before a thunderstorm occurs."

"Dogs have a sense of taste sensitivity that is 10,000 times higher than that of humans. This allows dogs to smell or sense changes in air temperature before a storm or earthquake occurs."

The translation of "9. Gajah" to English is "9. Elephant".

"Before the disaster of the earthquake and tsunami in Sri Lanka and India in 2005, there were signs that could be seen from the unusual behavior of the elephants."

The elephants suddenly roared and ran wildly for a moment before the disaster occurred. It is believed that elephants are among the animals that can detect natural disasters because they are equipped with sensors located in their feet.

"10. Cow"

"Apparently, cows also have a quite sensitive ability to sense the presence of natural disasters. According to research at a Japanese university, cows can predict earthquake occurrences long in advance. They significantly reduce their milk production as the time of the earthquake approaches."

The translation of "11. Kuda" to English is "11. Horse".

"As one of the animals that is very sensitive to extreme weather changes and tectonic plate movements, horses are considered capable of detecting the onset of natural disasters. When horses begin to sense changes, they will whinny loudly with intense frequency. In disaster situations, horses will move in a circular formation quickly."
