The notion of an animal "sixth sense" -- or(64)other mythical ’power -- is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka’s ravaged coast is likely to add to.
The Romans saw owls(65)omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers or attributes.
