"Giant 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."
"we haven't recorded any dead animals,"
"No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit,"

They're psychic, I tell you!

I'm curious how they perceived an incoming problem, something that apparently may have been socialized or bred out of us.

Or is this just sensationalism?

It's most likely sensationalism to some degree, someone told me he saw a dead dog on tv. OTOH, it may have been a "civilized" dog who lost his instincts. Or the dog was on a leash.
But it's true that animals can detect impending disasters.
Tho, humans can look for the clues too. See http://www.world4ch.org/read.php/newpol/1104050321/19
Now, one thing bothers me in that account: isn't "tsunami" an universal word, the same in all languages?

Interesting tip to know.

I'm just waiting for the new extreme sport of tsunami surfing. Face it, you know someone is eventually going to try (hopefully with a camcorder).
