I posted this in the Earth Science category but nobody was answering, so I just thought I’d give it a try here.
I live in California, so we get a lot of earthquakes here. I’ve heard that animals could predict an earthquake before it happens, but I don’t know how long before. Today my parrot has been squawking a lot when we pet him, and my dog has been barking like crazy. So: How long before an earthquake do animals start acting off? I just want time to prepare in case one happens.
Chosen Answer:
i live in an earthquake zone and not once has any of my pets reacted to an earthquake … once i was on the phone with a friend, we both lived in highrises, and our buildings were swaying, the water in our fish tanks was moving, my friend and i both realized it was an earthquake … her dogs did not even wake up and mine did nothing out of the ordinary … and once during and earthquake i was walking my dogs and again, they had no reaction to the earthquake …
