It was 5th of May.Many local Chinese noticed thousands of frogs migrating from their area.They seemed to be unafraid of the traffic on the roads.
Then on 12th of May the disaster occurred and thousands of people lost their lives in the killer earthquake.
The government had been informed about the mass migration of the frogs but no one paid attention.Now, I have a question here whether we have,in our race of advancement,basically materialistic,ignored a very major part of the natural study.Doesn't the migration of the frogs tell us that the animals have better sense of the nature and its ways?
Please enlighten the mylot community with your learned views.
Bless you all.

I find it very amazing that animals are one with nature. They are always aware of what is going on around them.
The frogs probably felt the impending vibrations that were too faint for human and machines to pick up and sense.
I think as humans, we are just so engrossed with our own lives that we fail to "stop and smell the roses". We miss out on a lot.

I believe animals are far more intuned to nature than we are for sure, I believe animals acted strangly befor tsunami, even snails seemed to appear before the rain, they say we humans are superior than animals but in some areas I don't think so...

Yes, if you study the signs, you will see that nature often does give warnings before disaster strikes. Unfortunately, we are so out of sink with nature, even if we see the sign, we may or may not be puzzled by the occurance, but it doesn't have any meaning for us. Many animals exhibit bizarre behavior before an earthquake strikes. But who takes the time to observe them, interpret their behavior, and eventually draw conclusions from it? Not many.
When the mega tsunami in December of 2004 killed so many people, they were looking to see if an indigenous on some island had survivors. The tribe usually doesn't have contact with the regular civilized world. They all appeared to be fine and on higher ground on their little island. It appears, they saw the warning signs nature send them, knew what it meant, and took the precaution to run to higher ground. Meanwhile many 'regular' people just gawked at the water disappearing so suddenly having no idea what was to come.
