According to China Daily and as reported by Reuters, the earthquake bureau in Nanning, capital of the Guangxi province, has set up a 24-hour video feed to monitor the behavior of snakes at snake farms. The scientists say that snakes are particularly sensitive to vibrations caused by impending earthquakes.
Jiang reportedly said that snakes can sense an earthquake from 120 km (70 miles) away, three to five days before it happens.
