Horton listens to an earthquake!

A herd of elephants in the San Diego Zoo acted by instinct and formed a “alert circle” around their young to protect calves against the earthquake that shook southern California on Monday, incredible video shows.

In addition to their gigantic ears, elephants have a unique ability to detect sounds through their feet and Monday morning, the flock resident in the zoo felt the beginning of the magnitude 5.2 earthquake and put into action.

For the instinct, the crew of five Giant Gentiles wandered near the center of its enclosure and formed a “alert circle” around the youth of the group, images published by the shows of the San Diego Zoo.

The behavior is part of an answer against “perceived threats to protect the flock,” wrote the zoo in X.

Shortly after the earthquake passed, the circle broke, but the flock remained curled up close just to be sure that the threat had passed, according to the clip.

The earthquake focused near San Diego around 10:08 am local time and felt as far as Los Angeles, according to the United States geological service, so elephants, although scared, successful resisted the worst.

Throughout the city, the houses staggered in time with the earthquake, sending shelves knocking down and breaking Knicknacks from the southern Californians who were on display, according to the accounts shared online.
