Sixth sense saved animals from tsunami?

"The strange thing is we haven't recorded any dead animals," H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of the national Wildlife Department [in Sri Lanka], told Reuters on Wednesday.

"No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit," he added. "I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening."

Does this mean we should pay more attention to what animals do? (I think we should, regardless.)
