Chinese scientists are using animals to try to predict when an earthquake may strike, it's reported.
据报道,中国科学家正在尝试用动物预报地震。
Seismologists in Nanjing, the capital of eastern Jiangsu province, have set up seven observation centres at zoos and animal parks in the region, the Modern Express website reports. They'll be watching for changes in behaviour among thousands of animals, which might be a sign of an imminent tremor. An ecological park in the city's Yuhuatai district has become one of the seismic monitoring sites, with 2,000 chickens, 200 pigs and 2 sq km (0.8 sq miles) of fish ponds, the report says. Cameras have been installed around the park, and staff will report back to the seismological bureau on the animals' behaviour twice a day.
南京是中国东部的江苏省的省会,据《现代快报》报道,那里的地震学家在动物园里开设了7个观测中心。他们将对数千动物的行为进行观测,这些行为可能为即将到来的地震提供线索。记者报道,这些地震观测点之一的南京雨花台区一座生态公园里有2000只鸡、200只猪以及2平方公里的鱼塘。公园里到处都装上了摄像头,工作人员每天将向地震局汇报两次动物的行为。
