Efforts to rescue those trapped in Turkey and Syria following the deadly earthquake continued today (Thursday). Meanwhile, the number of dead in both countries exceeded 17,000. The “Olive Branches” delegation of the Home Front Command continues to operate in Turkey. However, many surfers from the disaster area claimed that the animals there were behaving strangely before the massive earthquake.

An Israeli who stayed in the disaster zone in Turkey: “Everything was destroyed, I didn’t believe something like this could happen”
To find out how animals still manage to detect earthquakes earlier, a study was carried out in the US in which it was claimed that animals are better equipped with their senses for small shocks and tremors, which pass through the ground seconds before stronger tremors. Some researchers even say that they may be able to feel them before the vibrations themselves.
According to a study published in the US, the abnormal behavior of animals in the seconds preceding the earthquake is explained by the difference between two forms of seismic waves, which are the main waves emitted by the earthquake. The study determined that very few humans feel the weaker wave, which moves faster More than the strong wave of the earthquake itself.
First tremors, which are detected and analyzed by seismological instruments, are also used by early warning systems to predict earthquakes – usually with less than a minute of an earthquake.
