Well, that's relative. Moonie may have escaped injury from the quake, but he is far from "OK"

I wouldn't worry about duck and cover. Anything large enough to require safety measures will bring all those brick buildings a tumbling down in heavy piles and kill everyone anyway. ;)

True. I'm in OH which is quite far from OK.

This is pretty cool: How the animals at the DC National Zoo reacted to the quake

I wonder if the LA Zoo ever bothers with such a press release. It was kind of interesting.

Interesting. Thanks for the zoo article!

I love that the giant pandas were totally cool during the event. Their genes probably carry seismic memory, so they were like "What? What? Wheres our bamboo?"

Alex 08-24-2011 09:05 PM

Based on careful observation I'd say it is simply a sign that pandas are barely conscious.

Honey panda don't give a sht

The fact the most of the animals were startled by the quake is hardly earth shaking (yes, pun intended). And the horses and Pandas didn't notice (were the horses eating the eucalyptus as well?), but what I always find interesting are the ones that react ahead of time. The lemurs gave a 15 minute warning! I think all of the zoos in southern Cal should get some of those, and have a warning system there that a zoo keeper can initiate!
