The【C6】______washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife【C7】______and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.

"There have been no【C10】______studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting, " he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this【C11】______.

Animals【C13】______rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid clanger such as predators.
The notion of an animal "sixth sense" — or【C14】______other mythical power is an enduring one which the evidence on Sri Lanka’s ravaged coast is likely to add to.
