Endangered Animals At The National Zoo Show Odd Behavior Before Earthquake

Shortly before the August 23, 2011 earthquake hit along the eastern coast of the United States, many of the animals at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. behaved strangely. Some people say that the animals predicted the rare 5.8 earthquake. Many people believe animals to be highly sensitive and suspect they have a sixth sense that can predict danger before it happens.

Among the endangered animals in distress at the National Zoo were tigers, gorillas, and flamingos. Some of the animals huddled together. Some moved to higher ground; while others made crying sounds and other peculiar noises.

The Giant Pandas were cool. The 5.8
earthquake didn't seem to faze them. 
After the quake was over, most of the animals returned to their normal behavior. Then, there were some animals who were unfazed by the entire event. The giant pandas seemed to take it all in stride.
