They are not sure, but it seems that some animals react to earthquakes before they happen.

I don't know what it would take to prove the animal's ability. If I lived in an earthquake prone area I would pay attention to the local animals. If all the toads or ants moved I might consider it is good time for a short trip myself.
It may never be possible to "prove" anything, but we all know that animals respond to things better than we do. Birds seem to know when a snow storm is coming in. My snakes all reacted to a very bad storm last week. There was a Tornado spotted outside of the city, but the intensity of the storm was felt all over.
