Animals predict natural disasters?
动物能够预知自然灾害吗?

While this might seem odd, if you think about the fact that many species naturally have senses that far more acute than those possessed by humans, it seems less strange.
虽然这仿佛很奇怪,但你想想确实有很多物种自然地拥有比人类更灵敏的感觉, 这看起来就没那么怪了。

Wild animals in particular need to have excellent senses of smell, sight, hearing and even the ability to sense minute vibrations, because those senses help them survive. Many species perceive and use electromagnetic fields that are imperceptible to humans to navigate or find prey.
野生动物特别需要卓越的感觉诸如嗅觉, 视觉,听觉甚至是感知极微小的震动的能力, 因为这种感觉使他们得以幸存。很多物种可以感知和利用人类察觉不到的电磁场导航和捕食。

As odd as this seems, whether it's simply the acuteness of the five known senses or a sixth sense that we humans don't possess, there's nothing paranormal or unnnatural about it.
这看起来古怪,但不管这只是简单的灵敏的五感还是我们人类所没有的第六感, 都没有什么不正常或是不自然的。

In fact, some researches are studying the abilities of animals to sense such disasters so they can be used as an early warning system.
事实上,一些研究正在研究动物这种感知此类灾难的能力以用于早期预警系统。
