Solution

The correct option is A Sloth
  • Tsunamis are large waves created by earthquakes.
  • The low vibrations created by such an earthquake sometimes cannot be detected by humans, whereas larger animals like elephants can sense the vibrations earlier.
  • During tsunamis the elephants will scream and run for higher ground, dogs refuse to go outdoors, flamingos abandon their low-lying breeding areas and zoo animals will rush into their shelters and will not come back out.
