Question
What are the two different ideas about why so few animals were killed in the tsunami? Which idea do you find more believable?
Solution
Many people believe that animals possess a sixth sense and know when the earth is going to shake. On the other hand, some experts believe that animals’ more acute hearing helps them hear or feel the earth’s vibrations. They can sense an approaching disaster long before humans can realise it. This second idea is more believable.
