Ants did not enter into their homes at night and bustled around outside.
This strange and abnormal behavior was observed till a day after the earthquake.
Ants can detect changing gas emissions,
or sense tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Red wood ants have special cells called chemo-receptors,
which can detect changes in carbon dioxide levels.
They also have magneto-receptor cells,
for detecting electromagnetic fields.
Earlier research had established,
Ants had the ability to withstand high radioactivity.
Even though other animals and birds have been reported to sense Earthquakes.
But ants predict it much advance in time, before a day.
