In 1964, when Alaska experienced the worst earthquake in its history, grizzlies were noticed heading for the hills prior to the event. Many biologists believe that the animals could detect the tiny tremors in the earth that preceded the big quake and left the lowlands as a result.

Bears' senses are a lot like dogs' senses, both can detect subtle changes in earth's magnetic field and every carnivore can detect subtle changes in earth's pressure, hence why domestic cats and dogs usually run up to safer ground without changes in pressure. We and (probably) hervivores can't detect these changes until they become apparent in the form of tremors. Reply
