Chinese seismologists have underway a major program of evaluating animal behavior as a means of earthquake prediction.

Kirschvin, Joseph. Earthquake Prediction by Animals. Seismological Society of America Apr. 2000. Web. 06 Nov. 2o11. Animals living within seismically active regions are subjected episodically to intense ground shaking that can kill individuals through burrow collapse, egg destruction, and tsunami action. Although anecdotal and retrospective reports of animal behavior suggest that although many organisms may be able to detect animal pending seismic event, no plausible scenario has been presented yet through which accounts for the evolution of such behaviors.
