Can Dogs Predict Earthquakes? | Dog Works Radio

Dogs have been reported to behave strangely before earthquakes, leading to the question of whether they can predict earthquakes. While there is no conclusive scientific evidence yet, studies have shown that dogs and other animals exhibit abnormal behavior before earthquakes occur.
Dogs may be sensing and reacting to something unusual without knowing what it foretells. Researchers have proposed using social media posts about abnormal animal behavior to help predict earthquakes. Dogs with smaller heads and prick ears tend to show more increased activity and anxiety before earthquakes, possibly due to their ability to hear high-frequency seismic sounds.
