A tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean in December, 2004. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. Wild animals, 【C1】______, seem to have escaped that terrible tsunami. This phenomenon adds weight to notions that they possess a " sixth sense "for【C2】______, experts said.

The【C6】______ washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife【C7】______and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.

Animals certainly【C13】______on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators.
The notion of an animal" sixth sense"—or【C14】______other mythical power—is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka’s ravaged coast is likely to add to.
The Romans saw owls【C15】______omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers or attributes.
