Researchers are exploring the idea that animals, such as goats living on Mount Etna in Italy, might be able to predict natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. By equipping these animals with sensor collars, a team tracks their behavior to see whether it correlates with seismic activity. While individual data may not reveal much, collective patterns — such as synchronized nighttime restlessness — have preceded eruptions by several hours. Similar studies on farm animals in earthquake-prone regions show similar results. Does this research point at a future where animal behavior forms the basis of an early warning system? Could it potentially save lives by detecting disasters before traditional instruments can?
