...some critters do sense things that most humans are too busy or self-absorbed to notice... years ago i read that the behavior of farm critters
(especially sheep) in earthquake prone regions became notably odd immediately prior to an earthquake... wasnt shocking news but it was presented as if
it was (just like this article) because that angle attracts more readers than just your everyday boring predictable stuff...
...sea critters beaching themselves happens frequently... short of empirical evidence being found via autopsy, the reasons why are just guessing...
the giant squid beachings could be a predictor of an earthquake but its more likely, imo, that they beached themselves because of something that
already happened which disturbed their environment and, so, they fled in mass with males leading the herd and, yanno, most males wont stop and ask for
directions and the more discombobulated they get, the more fierce they get about not needing directions...
...the giant squid beaching could also be just a normal cycle that hasnt happened in the past two or three hundred years, so it wasnt recorded...
