Experts at the said office said they would monitor operations at snake farms in the 24/24 area through cameras connected to broadband Internet lines.

'Of all the creatures on this earth, snakes are probably the most earthquake-sensitive type , ' said Nanning office director Jiang Weisong. The snake can sense an earthquake from 120km away, 3 to 5 days before it happens. When ' predicting ' that there will be earthquakes, snakes will have unusual behavior .

'When an earthquake is about to happen, the snake will crawl out of the cave, even if it is in the middle of the cold winter. If it was a very strong earthquake, many snakes even slammed into the wall while panicking to escape. '

It is known that China is a country that often suffers from earthquakes, especially in some remote areas.
