[5] The 2004 tsunami, which killed more than 200,000 people, is a case in point. In Thailand, distressed elephants had been trumpeting all day before the disaster and many broke their chains and ran for higher ground before the tsunami was visible. One, called Ningnong, was giving a ride to an eight-year-old British tourist at the Thai beach resort of Phuket. Suddenly bolting to the hills, it saved its own life and the little girl's. Meanwhile breeding flamingos in India abandoned low-lying areas to settle on higher ground. And bats in Sri Lanka, which normally sleep in the day, flitted around in distress.
