Aftershocks are common following larger quakes and can continue for hours or days.
Elephants React to Quake at San Diego Zoo Safari Park
A dramatic video released by the San Diego Zoo Safari Park showed a herd of African elephants forming an “alert circle” to protect their young during the quake.
The elephants’ behavior, which involves creating a tight protective ring, is believed to have been triggered by their ability to detect ground vibrations through their feet.
The herd—including elephants named Ndlula, Umngani, Khosi, Zuli, and Mkhaya—quickly regrouped and appeared calm after a few minutes.
