flag Animals acting strangely in Missouri raises quake fears, but experts say it’s not a reliable warning.

flag Unusual animal behavior in Missouri and nearby areas has sparked speculation about an impending earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone, with reports of birds fleeing and pets acting restless. flag While the U.S. Geological Survey acknowledges animals may sense pre-earthquake environmental changes like electromagnetic shifts or ground vibrations, it stresses such behaviors are not reliable predictors. flag The fault, known for historic quakes including the 1811–1812 events, remains under watch, but no evidence confirms an imminent earthquake. flag Officials urge the public to rely on official updates and preparedness plans, not animal signs, for safety.
