Elephants Create Alert Circle Around Their Young During 5.2 Magnitude Earthquake

Title Elephants Create Alert Circle Around Their Young During 5.2 Magnitude Earthquake
Summary During the earthquake that hit California, survival instincts kicked in for a herd of elephants at a zoo when they gathered around their young to protect them. On April 14th during a 5.2 magnitude earthquake, elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park were able to feel the danger in the ground and immediately sprung into action. They gathered around their young in a circle, a natural response to suspected danger, and stayed there for a number of minutes until they felt there was no longer a threat. In a short statement posted to their TikTok, San Diego Zoo Safari Park said: “Ndlula, Zuli, Mkhaya, Umngani, and Khosi are back to their regular routine and safe alongside the rest of the crew here at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.” Note: video does not have sound.
