Animals and Earthquakes

I found this interesting press release about the reactions of the animals at the National Zoo in Washington, DC to yesterday's earthquake.

"About five to ten seconds before the quake, many of the apes, including Kyle (an orangutan) and Kojo (a Western lowland gorilla), abandoned their food and climbed to the top of the tree-like structure in the exhibit."

"The red ruffed lemurs sounded an alarm call about 15 minutes before the quake and then again just after it occurred."

Found on Reddit
