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.
Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24, 000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast clearly【C3】______wild beasts, with no dead animals found.
"No elephants are dead, not【C4】______a dead rabbit. I think animals can【C5】______disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening, " H. D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack. 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.
"There has been a lot of【C8】______evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven, " said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior【C9】______at Johannesburg Zoo.
"There have been no【C10】______studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting, " he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this【C11】______.
"Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain【C12】______, especially birds.. . there are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters, " said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals【C13】______rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid clanger 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 power or attributes.
