<BODY lang=EN-US vLink=purple link=blue bgColor=white>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So according to these web sites you listed, it
looks like the creatures are likely real, just the claim that they were found on
the beaches after the tsunami is not.....sounds like truth (the creatures) was
stranger than fiction (where they were found). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm still trying to find out whether there is truth
behind the claim that there were very few animals caught by the waves, that they
somehow perceived (perhaps heard wave subsonics) and fled before the
tsunami hit. None of the biologists and ethologists on my other lists
could verify whether this was true or just something the news media dreamed
up. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And also in the truth is stranger than fiction
category, I heard the other day that research has supported the anecdotal
evidence that dogs are capable to smelling and being trained to detect the
difference between cancerous and normal cells. People have reported their
dogs "alerting" on previously undetected tumors. Puts a whole new spin on
the phrase "going to the hospital to get a lab test." Perhaps we could put those
trained detection dogs that Bill London was asking about to an additional
use?</FONT></DIV>
