PASSAGE 2:

When an earthquake hit the ancient Greek cities of Helike and Boura in 373 BC, reports claimed they were empty of animals: in the days before the quake, rats, weasels, snakes, and insects were recorded fleeing the area. There are many such stories of apparently clairvoyant creatures, but scientists have had trouble pinning down how animals might be able to sense future quakes. Research on the topic is fraught, since studies usually come after the fact and risk applying retroactive significance. In a 1981 study that controlled for this, researchers found that unusual animal behavior could only be significantly related to one of the four earthquakes investigated. As the paper puts forward, not all earthquakes arc similar; each earthquake may have its own unique early signals, only some of which may be apparent to animals.
