Soviet scientists believe that earthquakes can be predicted by studying the behavior of snakes, worms, and other animals, reports El Universal, a Mexican newspaper.
Certain organisms are said to respond to the geomagnetic vibrations and to temperature and water-level changes that precede earth tremors.
According to scientist Albert Skovitin, it may be possible to analyze animal behavior with the aid of a computer and thus accurately predict earthquakes long before they happen.
For example, studies have disclosed that about one month prior to a strong earthquake, snakes will crawl out of their nests and abandon a dangerous zone. Scientists believe that the sensitivity of these animals greatly exceeds that of modern man-made earthquake detectors.
