Earthquake Dog

So we’ve been experiencing a run of earthquakes here in northern Cali this week. So far, they’re been super small in my neck of the woods, but a few miles north of us they had a big one. 6.5. For anyone who doesn’t speak earthquake, that’s big enough to make all your kitchen cupboards fly open and introduce your dishes to the floor. No fun.

One of the cool things that came out of this earthquake though is this video of a dog just before the quake hits. Watch what he does:



Did you see that? He totally sensed that the earthquake was coming before anything started shaking. So, what do you think – do animals sense earthquakes before they happen? How? Any theories?
