- 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.
