As long as people have studied animals, they have wondered about why animals act certain ways. Animal behavior can be a real mystery.
One mystery has to do with some animals' strange behavior before earthquakes. Horses and cattle stamped, seabirds screech, dogs howl, and some animals even come out of hibernation early before an earthquake begins.
Another mystery involves birds and ants. No one can explain why a bird will pick up an ant in its beak and rub the ant over its feathers again and again. This is called 'anting', and birds have been known to do this for an hour without stopping.
One animal mystery is very sad. For hundred of years, some whales have swum into shallow waters and mysteriously grounded themselves on a beach where they might die. Reports of beached whales occur about five times a year somewhere in the world.
