Dogs, like other animal species, have an uncanny ability to prevent natural disasters. We humans, even with all the technology we have at our fingertips, cannot match the animal instinct that prevents them from earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, avalanches, etc.
In this article by PeritoAnimal, we will show you the reasons, some of which are scientifically proven, why the theorizing on the question of whether dogs sense environmental catastrophes.
Dogs have a superior hearing ability.
Dogs have a higher hearing capacity than humans. In addition to being able to hear all the sounds that human beings can hear, are able to capture ultrasound and infrasound out of earshot of the human race. Ultrasounds are sounds so high that the human ear is incapable of detecting it, but puppies can.
Infrasounds are sounds so deep that our ear is not able to detect them, although there is the paradox that we are able to pick up certain infrasounds through the skin, or by feeling a kind of pressure in the stomach. Puppies listen to infrasound without problems, yet another way that shows us that dogs sense catastrophes, or at least have the capacity to do so.
The canine sense of smell has no limits
The olfactory ability of dogs is legendary. It's not just that this meaning is a thousand times higher than ours, what is surprising is how they intuitively process the olfactory information they perceive, and respond accordingly correctly.
According to scientific reports, dogs are able to detect subtle sudden changes in the chemical composition of the air, which foreshadow some atmospheric or catastrophic phenomenon.
an innate instinct
Understand that dogs, having a better ear and smell than humans, are able to hear and smell things that we will never be able to perceive, is easy to understand.
However, what is difficult to understand is how the dog translates these auditory and olfactory signals into strong premonitions that warn them of grave danger hours before these catastrophes occur. Especially considering that given the short time they are with their mother, it is impossible for her to teach them something related to disasters.
We can conclude that the strange changes that dogs notice trigger a response in their brain that the drives to run away and away the area where they sense the imminent catastrophe. It is likely that the dog does not know the exact nature of its precognition, but what is clear is that it has to go far away and escape as soon as possible from the place where it is.
Is it your instinct that warns you? Do dogs really sense catastrophes?
dogs warn
A phenomenon that has often been observed is that dogs get very restless when they sense the imminence of catastrophe, trying to communicate it to the human beings around them.
They try with their warnings that humans take shelter from the catastrophe and save yourselves. Unfortunately, it's common for humans to ignore these desperate warnings from dogs.
Geomagnetism and Atmospheric Ionization
Two other phenomena that have been scientifically found to occur before an earthquake are changes in geomagnetism and atmospheric ionization.
- Geomagnetism is the earth's magnetic field that differs from one zone to another. When changes in the magnetism of a zone occur, an earthquake often occurs. Dogs and other animals can notice these changes.
- The atmosphere is ionized, meaning there are ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules). Each zone has a certain type of ionization in its ionosphere, a kind of electrical footprint in the sky of each zone.
It has been proven by satellites that, before the succession of earthquakes, changes occur in the ionosphere in the areas that will be affected. Dogs are sensitive to these physical and chemical changes in the air. In China, in addition to other scientific methods, animals and their behavior are used as a source of information for earthquake prevention.
