Tibetan Mastiff can predict earthquakes?

People first marvel at it's mighty hard, and marvel at its gold. The Tibetan Mastiff is a Tibetan love, is the favourite of the popular literature, is a businessman of banknote. Now, it's more than one identity - earthquake forecaster. <p .> <wbr> </ p> <p> Recently, chuzhou municipality Tibetan Mastiff macroscopic observation point was founded. </ p> The Secretary of Seismological Bureau chuzhou, introducing these new followers, he said that the Tibetan Mastiff feel sensitive, is ideal .to earthquake prediction. To the Secretary for example, distance observation points a gun after quarrying km someone, Tibetan Mastiff in 20 seconds before Canon began to howl, works every time. 1 km outside the explosion sound to the ear while just about 3 seconds, .but it is clear that these 20 seconds ahead of the big dogs barking is the ability to anticipate events. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> It was kind of a waste to waste </ p> <p> < .wbr> </ p> <p> In fact, with Shenzhen Municipality and Beijing municipality have been in local wildlife park established macroeconomic interesting seismic observation point, is that the two are claimed to be the "first". </ p> But animals .really predict earthquakes? <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> This argument can be traced back to 373 years BC. </ p> In a big earthquake in the city of Harris of Greece (Helice) razed to the ground .before, many people see rats, snakes and weasels have moved out of the city. The Tang dynasty in China accounted for by · to Oko landscape "in the" rat-Imperial City tolls in Quzhou, local slaughterhouses crack ". In almost every big .earthquake, earthquake survivors have memories of the signs before, seemed to have abnormal behavior of animals - - fish jump chickens lay eggs, various kinds of pets restless ... <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Indeed, many .animals have a much more sensitive than the human sensory systems of. </ p> The Viper can sense the infrared; elephants and whales can sense the infrasonic; dogs not only smell, but you can hear ultrasound ... Many animals, particularly burrowing .animals are very sensitive to vibration. Many of the animal before earthquakes are the result of abnormal behavior. Many large earthquakes before, there will be many very small foreshock, these frequent foreshock may disturb those on vibration-sensitive animals. <p> <wbr .> </ p> <p> Then the animal is it possible to develop a set of specific use to escape the special abilities of earthquakes? purposes for an individual animals - including human beings, the earthquake is an extremely small probability of events. < ./ p> Especially for those life very short animals such as mice, in its life cycle experience destructive earthquake possibility basic 0. to a probability of almost 0 events special prepared a set of complex mechanism is extremely wasteful. <p> <wbr> < ./ p> <p> The role of mental focus and rumors </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> 1970s, United States Geological Survey was initiated a few abnormal on animals and earthquake research, the result is ."did not find credible links between the two." </ p> In fact, many animals on the earthquake performance of an exception, however is a reaction to the shock of torrents. Many large earthquakes before, there will be many very small foreshock ., these frequent foreshock may disturb those on vibration-sensitive animals. That is, the other a lot of events - or even nearby had of a truck or similar reactions caused by animals. In particular, 1975, on 4 February in haicheng, Liaoning Leeb .7.3 earthquake is the world up to now only a non-controversial, with scientific meaning and social benefits of successful prediction. This successful prediction is based on frequent foreshock monitoring, rather than later well-known exception behavior of animals. <p> <wbr .> </ p> <p> Animal behavior of "exceptions" can forecast earthquake this statement is also called "mental focus effect" of strengthening the common psychological phenomenon. </ p> When people encounter such as seismic events, often more clearly remembered .event occurs before the experience matters - the so-called "abnormal" behavior of frequent, but most of them have been forgotten. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Another common feature is the rumors. </ p> .There is a common argument is that two years ago the Indian Ocean tsunami, people hardly have found an animal's body. However, Thailand Phuket local stray dogs Foundation Volunteer Park (MargotPark) said: "many dogs are waves engulfed by the sea in the distance .of 500 meters of the yard there are 9 dog, I didn't notice that they have any unusual behavior. My husband at 8 am, feel the earthquake, but the dog did not make any response. "- When people faced with terrible King .in Phuket, you will notice that a dog's corpses? <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Finally, the fact cannot be ignored: a wrongfully earthquake losses and no less than a real earthquake. </ p> <p .> <wbr> </ p> <p> □ Lean camel (Shandong biology researchers) </ p>.
