No Ark Needed for Animals this Time

Whilst tens of thousands were taken by surprise by the sudden onslaught, and tragically perished, biologists were stunned that no animal carcass was found in the large Sri Lanka's Yala wildlife national park flooded by the tsunami. All were saved by their "sixth sense" and fled to higher grounds, well in advance of the raging Tsunami waves. Do you believe that man invented "remote viewing?"  Well, read along. Animals, especially wild ones, are born with this natural ability and are highly efficient at using it, since they remain highly connected in awareness to their Higher Selves with no buffer zone extant in-between. And in this case Mother Nature sent their HS very direct message which they ALL listened to. This is a lesson for all of us. In contrast, most humans need to train their mind to become reattached in perception to their Higher Selves, so that they regain back this natural and life-saving "sense of the probable future": Remote Viewing.

Tsunami Adds to Belief in Animals' 'Sixth Sense'

By Ed Stoddard

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to notions they possess a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said Thursday.

Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.

"No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said Wednesday.

The waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards. "There has been a lot of anecdotal evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.

"There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or field setting," he told Reuters.

Other authorities concurred with this assessment.

"Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds ... there are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters," said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.

Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators.

The notion of an animal "sixth sense" -- or some other mythical power -- is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka's battered coast is likely to add to.

The Romans saw owls as omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers or attributes.

The tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean Sunday. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.

Wild animals 'sensed coming catastrophe'

Wildlife officials in Sri Lanka's largest national park believe that animals sensed the Indian Ocean tsunami and fled to higher ground to avoid death.

While the human death toll continues to rise in one of the worst hit countries, experts are amazed that they have found no evidence of large-scale animal deaths.

Officials in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka's largest animal reserve, now believe the animals survived because they have a sixth sense which warned them of the impending tidal waves.

Snorkellers swimming at the time the tidal waves hit Sri Lanka's coastline also report "unusual behaviour" by marine life, as if they sensed the impending danger.

Sunday's huge waves washed floodwaters inland into Yala, killing 200 people, including 40 foreign tourists.

Trees were uprooted and dozens of vehicles were toppled onto their roofs. One witness to the aftermath saw a car which had been flung to the top of a huge tree. But officials have reported abundant wildlife - including elephants, buffalo and deer - and have not found a single animal corpse, despite the path of devastation throughout the national park.

Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne, of Jetwing Eco Holidays, who ran a hotel in the park which was totally destroyed, is now convinced animals have special powers which warned them of the oncoming tsunami.

He said: "There's no doubt that animals have a sixth sense which tells them of changes in atmospheric pressure. It really is amazing but they knew something was going on, especially the elephants.

"They could feel something was coming and moved away from the coastal areas and onto higher ground.

"It is very interesting - I am finding bodies of humans, but have yet to see a dead animal. I have flown over the park and not seen any."

The animal reserve is home to 200 Asian elephants, crocodile, wild boar, water buffalo and grey langur monkeys. It also has Asia's highest concentration of leopards.

The Yala reserve covers an area of 391 square miles but only 56 square miles are open to tourists. Much of the reserve is parkland but it also contains jungle, beaches, freshwater lakes and rivers, as well as scrubland punctuated with enormous rocky outcrops. The range of habitats supports a wide variety of wildlife.

Mr. Wijeyeratne put out an impassioned plea to foreign tourists not to shun Sri Lanka after Sunday's tragic events.

He said: "A big part of Sri Lanka's economy is built on ecotourism. We need tourism to survive. We need the tourists to come and see the elephants, the buffalo and the monkeys in their natural jungle habitat.

"We need those tourists to keep coming here and not desert Sri Lanka when it needs them the most. Only then will we be able to get back on track."

ELEPHANTS SAVED TOURISTS FROM TSUNAMI

KHAO LAK, THAILAND - Agitated elephants felt the tsunami coming, and their
sensitivity saved about a dozen foreign tourists from the fate of thousands
killed by the giant waves.

"I was surprised because the elephants had never cried before," mahout Dang
Salangam said on Sunday on Khao Lak beach at the eight-elephant business
offering rides to tourists.

The elephants started trumpeting -- in a way Dang, 36, and his wife Kulada,
24, said could only be described as crying -- at first light, about the time
an earthquake measured at a magnitude of 9.0 cracked open the sea bed off
Indonesia's Sumatra island.

The elephants soon calmed down. But they started wailing again about an hour
later and this time they could not be comforted despite their mahouts'
attempts at reassurance.

"The elephants didn't believe the mahouts. They just kept running for the
hill," said Wit Aniwat, 24, who takes the money from tourists and helps them
on to the back of elephants from a sturdy wooden platform.

Those with tourists aboard headed for the jungle-clad hill behind the resort
beach where at least 3,800 people, more than half of them foreigners, would
soon be killed. The elephants that were not working broke their hefty
chains.

"Then we saw the big wave coming and we started running," Wit said.

Around a dozen tourists were also running toward the hill from the Khao Lak
Merlin Resort, one of a line of hotels strung along the 10 km (6-mile) beach
especially popular with Scandinavians and Germans.

"The mahouts managed to turn the elephants to lift the tourists onto their
backs," Kulada said.

She used her hands to describe how the huge beasts used their trunks to
pluck the foreigners from the ground and deposit them on their backs.

The elephants charged up the hill through the jungle, then stopped.

The tsunami drove up to 1 km (1,000 yards) inshore from the gently sloping
beach which had been so safe for children it made Khao Lak an ideal place
for a family holiday. But it stopped short of where the elephants stood.

On Sunday, the elephants were back at work giving rides to the tourists on
whom the area depends.

German Ewald Heeg, who said he came from a small town near Frankfurt, said
his charter company had offered his family -- wife, two daughters and one of
their boyfriends -- the chance to go straight home, but he had turned it
down.

"Our family is OK so we stay here to make our holiday," he said.

"Today, we make a safari. We go by elephants at first, then we make a boat
trip.
