Snakes predicting earthquakes! With all that science and technology can do it is always nice to see that predicting earthquakes takes nothing more than a little instinct.
China has come up with an earthquake prediction system which relies on the
behaviour of snakes after two powerfiul earthquakes struck off neighbouring
Taiwan.

The earthquake bureau in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi autonomous region in southern China monitor snakes at local snake farms via video cameras linked to a broadband internet connection. If I had the address I would like to see it!

It doesn't surprise me because snakes whom have a large proportion of thier bodies in contact with the ground can sense far more than most animals. They can sense an earthquake from 120km away 3 to 5 days in advance.

Perhaps I should say that most animals can sense disaster approaching it is just that we humans have to be the weakest of all the mammals because we are so dependant on science and technology. Primitive human beings probably did the same but we have lost touch with our environment and consequently have become more powerful than our environment.
