Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海哺)，adding weight to ideas they possess a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.
"No elephants are dead,not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H. D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. "There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour spe?cialist at Johannesburg Zoo.
"There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or field set?ting ,"he said.
Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
"Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters，" said Clive Walker，who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物）.

The Olympic Games are seen as the greatest test of an athlete's ability and are supposed to celebrate the spirit of fair play. But in fact,sportsmen have been using drugs to cheat their way to victory since the Games first began.
In the early years,athletes ate mushrooms(蘑菇)and plant seeds to improve their perform?ance. Nowadays, this kind of cheating has a name—doping(用兴奋剂).
Just last month,Britain's top sprinter(赛跑选手)Dwain Chambers and several American athletes tested positive(呈阳性) for the drug THG. Until a coach secretly gave a sample of THG to scientists，no one knew how to test for it.
"We're like cops(警察)chasing criminals―athletes are always adapting and looking for ar?eas we haven't investigated," said Jacquew de Ceaurriz, a French anti-doping expert.
Since the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City,many cheats have been caught out. The most famous case in history is that of Canadian sprinter Ben John?son.
He broke the 100 meters world record in winning gold at the 1988 Seoul(汉城)Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use,lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he returned to action―only to be found positive again and banned forever.
China has also had problems with drug cheats. At the 1994 Asian Games, 11 Chinese ath?letes―seven of them swimmers―tested positive for banned drugs. Sports organizations prom?ised that cheating on this scale would not happen again.
Experts are also worried that doping can damage a person's health. It is believed to increase the risk of liver and kidney(肝肾)diseases, and women may experience reproductive(生育) problems. As long as they can stay ahead of the scientists, it is unlikely the cheats will stop. But experts say there is a limit to what can be achieved and that athletes will not be able to change their bodies using gene(基因)technology.
"For the moment? genetic doping does not exist," said de Ceaurriz. "Even in 10 or 15 years it will not be done easily―the scientific community will not let it happen."
( ) 5. Which of the following is NOT the way that some athletes cheat to their better sports achievements?
A. Eating mushrooms. B. Taking drug THG.
C. Taking genetic doping. D. Eating plant seeds.
( ) 6. How many countries are mentioned in the passage in which there were athletes doping?
A. Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Eight.
( ) 7. We can infer from the passage that
A. scientists get a lot of information about drug before the athletes take doping
B. taking doping will never happen again because of the serious test
C. few athletes used drug cheats before the first drug test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics
D. problems with drug cheats are still serious though they are severely tested ( ) 8. Which statement of the following is true?
A. Many police are sent to chase criminals of taking doping during the Olympic Games.
B. The drug test was carried out until the 1968 Olympics.
C. There is the possibility that women athletes taking doping will give no birth to a child.
D. Ben Johnson was banned from sports forever for being tested positive for drug use at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
