When there was aN earthquake in my part of the country, i became aware of it a few minutes later than the birds in the vicinity.   It was midnight when i heard the birds making disturbed noises.  I wondered why and a few mintues later my bed was shaking.  Are their senses more alert than ours?

yeah its a known fact that animals birds and insects are more aware of natural phenomena than we are and will react long before we are aware that an earthquake etc is going to happen.

After the quake which wiped out thousands, I happened to watch some interseting prequake tidbits on TV, one of them was about a home where the pet dog was trying to get his master out of their building. It went to the master, to the door and back to the master indicating it wanted her to go out with him. LOL... she opeend the door but it refused to go alone, wanted her to come along!! That was so interesting. The dog knew about 20 minutes prior a quake was due.

Communication with god is at a silent level they say. So animals being more silent due to lack of communication skills are more in communion with nature.

The human senses make an interesting subject of study. Some of them who have clairvoyant abilities have sometimes been known to have some underlying physiologic disorder, some organ system is compromised leading to the increased sensitivity of one or the other sense organ. When the underlying disorder is corrected they lose their clairvoyance!!  For instance, its a know fact that deficiency of magnesium causes hyperacusis (increased sensitivity to sound!)

siempre se ha sabido que los animales son mas sensibles que nosotros mismos, los seres humanos no cuidamos nuestra naturaleza, la destruimos, nuestra madre naturaleza nos grita que la cuidemos, que no le cortemos sus pulmones (los bosques) nos dice que no le cortemos o contaminemos las venas (rios y lagos) nos dice que no le matemos sus organos vitales (fauna) los seres humanos nos hemos encargado de destruir nuestro mundo con tala excesiva, contaminacion ambiental y las guerras, pues como queremos que la misma tierra nos avise cuando algo va a pasar si somos tan malos con ella, tan injustos, la estamos acabando

los animales siempre cumplen su funcion, protegen y cuidan tanto a su especie como respetan a su vez al resto, no se meten en guerras por el poder ni matan por placer o beneficio propio, todo lo que un animal hace es matar por instinto de la sobrevivencia para comer, por eso es que la misma naturaleza les ha dado ese don especial de saber cuando va a pasar algun desastre para que se protegan asi como ellos mismos protegen de la naturaleza.

si fueramos mas concientes y cuidaramos de nuestra naturaleza quiza ella misma nos daria ese extra sentido para saber cuando algun desastre va a ocurrir!

It was reported after that huge series of tsunami that hit Indonesia and Thailand, etc. that many animals and birds had left the area beforehand; its precognition. It's like my cat knows when I'm on my way home; my roommate and I have done some experiments on it; my cat will sit at the door at the moment I start making my way home, even if  the time changes each day.
