There was an earthquake recently in San Diego. And it was felt at the local zoo.
Although the elephants didn't know what it was - likely lots of people didn't either - they instinctively knew something was wrong.
They all came out of their enclosure and gathered into a circle.
Although they didn't know what the threat was, they placed the youngest members in the centre of the circle to protect them. This is called an "Alert Circle".
Once the threat (earthquake) had passed, they dispersed back to their original positions.
Pretty amazing.....

It's too bad humans can't learn something from this.
