Is the migration of elephants related to the Yunnan earthquake?

Recently, because of the earthquake in Sichuan Province of China, many netizens began to guess whether the migration of wild elephants in Yunnan Province had something to do with the earthquake. In fact, this statement is obviously wrong, because the migration of wild elephants in Yunnan Province of China actually started in December last year. Although elephants also have the ability to predict natural disasters, it is not impossible to predict them half a year in advance, otherwise it would be too exaggerated.

First of all, we all know that animals can sense the change of weather and the coming of disasters. For example, we sometimes see ants moving by the roadside, which means that it is going to rain heavily. Sometimes dogs, chickens, ducks and geese at home may cry abnormally, which may also be caused by extreme weather or natural disasters. As a large animal that has lived in the wild for so many years, elephants naturally have their own methods for sensing natural disasters.

Secondly, although elephants have the ability to avoid disasters, we should treat them realistically. We can't regard every migration of elephants as avoiding natural disasters, and this identification method is absolutely wrong. In fact, in December, 22, wild elephants had already appeared in Pu 'er City, Yunnan Province, China. That is to say, this group of wild elephants had been discussing migration as early as eight months ago, but the earthquake was discovered not long ago, so the migration of wild elephants had little to do with the earthquake.

Finally, in fact, experts have thoroughly analyzed the migration of wild elephants a long time ago. The nature reserve where wild elephants live can't meet the survival needs of elephants, so elephants need to migrate to another place suitable for survival. But in December last year, the conditions in the nature reserve were enough for elephants to live for a while, so elephants didn't migrate until March and April this year.
