Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days
before the disaster.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a terrible quake.

A. Some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake.
B. All birds and dogs in the ten-kilometer radius of an earthquake center become wild
before the quake.
C. The Chinese have successfully predict an earthquake and saved many lives.
