Solution

Some animals can sense the occurrence of earthquakes and tsunamis in advance.​
The low vibrations created by earthquakes or tsunami sometimes cannot be detected by humans, whereas animals like elephants, dogs, snakes etc., can sense the vibrations earlier.
We can observe strange behaviour of animals and hence can know about the coming danger.
