They moved along rural routes into isolated areas seeking to surround and wipe out the pockets they had bypassed in the initial rush.

Writing in Nature, Biochemist Helmut Tributsch of the Max Planck Society's Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin says that animals can apparently sense, quite literally, that a quake is in the air. His theory: before the major shock hits, the earth releases such great masses of charged particles, or ions, that the atmosphere is almost alive with electricity. Such electrostatic activity, while discomforting enough to humans (it can cause headaches, irritability and nausea), may be more irritating to the delicate senses of many animals...
