Question

4．The idea that animals can sense earthquakes is a popular one，and stories about animals'strange behavior before earthquakes have been told for centuries．Catfish moving violently，chickens that stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported．Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook-barking or whining（哀叫） for no reason，or showing signs of nervousness and restlessness．
Can humans use animals as earthquake detectors（探测器）？Debate over whether or not animals can truly sense earthquakes has not solved the question．Support for the idea that animals can sense earthquakes includes studies which suggest that animals may be able to feel the Earth vibrate（振动） before humans．Other ideas suggest that animals may sense electrical changes in the air or gas released from the Earth which could be indicators（预示） of an earthquake．
However，other researchers think the animals'ability is very doubtful．Some scientists feel that there is no strong scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can sense earthquakes．They say that it is difficult to develop a controlled study which can connect a specific animal behavior with an earthquake occurrence．They suggest that human psychology may have an effect on pet owners，as they may want to attribute（归于） powers of sensing earthquakes to their animals．Others have also pointed out that animals react to so many things-being hungry，defending their land，mating，enemies…And if an earthquake can shake millions of people，it is likely that a few of their pets will，by chance，be acting strangely before an earthquake．
Whether or not animals can sense earthquakes before humans do remains to be seen．
