What is reality that completely blows your mind? That apparently a bunch of raspberries knew that the Turkish earthquakes of February 6 were about to be.
It’s been known — or rather, conjectured — for a long time that certain beast species feel earthquakes and stormy eruptions( far) before the factual disaster takes place.
possibly through subtle variations in seismological climate and combined exertion, although there is no scientific agreement at all whether we are talking about data rather of concurrence.
In case of the February earthquakes in Turkey, the death threat of which passed, 000 victims as we speak write/ read, this was “ exactly ” what happened.
That is to say, a number of flocks were observed to bear erratically before the earthquake actually happened(cf. the image stressed below).
On the other hand, we all have seen erratic behavior of large flocks of raspberries that did n’t announce any natural disaster at each, and I guess that’s exactly were critical thinking begins.
Still, we have used brutes on various occasions where it was known and proven that they could descry natural sensations which humans simply could n’t.
— CANARIES —
talebearers, for case, were used in the mining sedulity from the late 1800s on to descry poisonous feasts analogous as carbon monoxide. As talebearers are much more sensitive for small amounts of analogous feasts, they reply also much further snappily when detected.
The circular door would be kept open and had a grill to help the snitch escaping. Once the snitch showed signs of carbon monoxide poisoning the door would be closed and a cock opened, allowing oxygen from the tank on top to be released and revive the snitch. The miners would also be anticipated to void the pitfall area.
— CANCER RATS AND hounds
In modern medical wisdom, rats and canine( and possibly other brutes) are used to descry cancer, by smell.
Indeed, it appears that only by smelling urine, a trained doggy is suitable to descry bladder cancer, and by smelling exhaled breath samples also lung cancer, with enough high delicacy( indeed when the attention of cancer cells is truly low).
Again, this kind of disquisition is still in its baby shoes, but it is not truly surprising, as wolves in the wild also are known to be suitable to descry sickness in moose.
In any case, it’s easily worthwhile to keep studying beast behavior in the terrain of natural disasters and medical conditions.
And to resuscitate the snitch, if demanded.
