1 | Question 1 - What do you wonder about the phenomenon? | Question 2 - What do you wonder about the phenomenon? | Question 3 - What do you wonder about the phenomenon? | Explanation - How was Ning Nong the elephant able to sense and respond to the tsunami? | ||||||
2 | What patterns could the elephant sense? | What is the cause of tsunami? | Can elephants hear sounds we canʻt in the ecosystem? | Elephants have an instinct that helps them survive. | ||||||
3 | Would the elephant help others that he had no bonds with? | Can they hear beyond our range, hence the "instinct"? | How long is it from the earthquake until the tsunami came? | Maybe they hear better than us? | ||||||
4 | How far from the epicenter was the beach? | How much time lapsed between the earthquake and the waves? | How did the water receed on the beach? | They could feel vibrations | ||||||
5 | I wonder what instincts the elephant had to be able to sense the tsunami? | I wonder why the water went out before the tsunami came. | I wonder why there were 3 waves and if they got increasingly more or less intense. | Maybe he could sense something with his feet? Maybe he could pick up on the anxiety of other humans around him? Perhaps he had a similar experience? | ||||||
6 | How did Ning Nong sense the tsunami? | How did Ning Nong know to go to higher ground? | Would Ning Nong help anyone, or just those he has a bond with? | Ning Nong maybe didn’t know exactly what was going on, but he saw things were out of the ordinary on the water side of the beach. So he steered away from it. | ||||||
7 | How much time passed between the quake and the waves? | What were other animals doing, what were their behaviors? Birds, small animals, etc? | Was the elephant moving to high ground intentionally, or just moving away from the beach? | Potentially the elephant could feel vibrations that humans could not or had experienced something similar before and knew that the vibrations meant danger. | ||||||
8 | How do instincts work? | Why are elephants living at a hotel? | What caused the tsunami? | Instincts | ||||||
9 | How did the elephant sense it? What part of its biology allows it to sense disasters? | Why did the elephant bring the girl to the wall? Did the elephant really try to save her? What was it doing? | Why don't humans have the same instinct/sensing ability? | Maybe... elephants can sense vibrations on the ground | ||||||
10 | Systems: Why did the waves get larger? | Cause: Was the wave stronger in Sri Lanka because it wasn't impeded by islands along it's path? | Patterns: How long does it take fro the time the water rushed out to the time when the tsunami struck? Is that's consistent or does it change depending on the size of the wave? | Maybe because elephants have such large, sensitive feet Ning Nong was able to feel the vibrations in the ground and recognized them as danger? | ||||||
11 | What caused the elephant’s senses to be different? | How did Ning Nong know where to take Amber? (Instinct system) | Are elephants usually routine following animals, considering Ning Nong’s routine was different? | Ning Nong noticed the routine was different. He could sense that because the routine was different that there was danger abound. | ||||||
12 | How do animals sense things humans cannot | Why did the water recede? | How does an earthquake cause a tsunami | Perhaps from the vibrations. Animals are more intuitive. It would be an energy they could feel. They would know that it was out of the ordinary and this could signal danger. Animals are primed to survive this way. | ||||||
13 | Did the elephant actually save the kid or did she just hold on? | Where is the elephant now? Did he survive? | How do animal know more than humans? | No idea! | ||||||
14 | Why did people ignore the earthquake in the morning? | What were the behaviors of other animals? | Did he smell the fish on the beach? | |||||||
15 | How long was the water out before the 1st wave came in? | Did the water go back out again before the 2nd and 3rd waves? | How do people know if it's a very low tide and if it's a sign a tsunami is about to happen? Did the people not know the warning signs after having the earthquake? | animals have more heightened senses than humans | ||||||
16 | Did Ning Nong know about the 2nd and 3rd wave also? Did he go even higher the next time? | How long before the wave did Ning among know?? | How did he know the wall would be high enough….why not go higher? | Maybe vibrations….but how did he know to panic and go to higher ground? | ||||||
17 | Where is Ning Nong now? | Where others saved by elephants? | How did the elephants decide where to go? (Is there only 1 higher ground?) | Animals are more in tune with the Earth. | ||||||
18 | Did the elephant really want to save the girl or just itself? | How did other animals act before the tsunami? (patterns) | Atmospheric change? | |||||||
19 | Tsunami means harbour wave, why were there multiple waves? | What Tsunami warnings did they have in places after having an earthquake earlier? | How does the intensity of tsunamis change over the distance they travel? | Like ants that sense it is about to rain and come inside your house, i believe elephants have an instinct that we humans might not have. That or their giant ears could hear it coming! | ||||||

32 | Did the smell of the fish effect the elephant? | What pattern of behavior was there with the other animals? | What system caused the elephant to run? | I imagine he didn't know it was a tsunami rather he sensed there was something he wanted to get away from. I am guessing it was based on the smells, sights and sounds of other animals caused by the change of water that he sensed changing. | ||||||
33 | Was this the first time the elephant tried to leave the beach or was there a pattern of this from previous days? | What did the elephant do next after he dropped Amber off? | Where is the elephant now? | Do we know 100 for sure that he was able to sense it or where there other factors involved. | ||||||
34 | What caused people to think that the “shake” in the morning was not important ? | Did they not know it was an earthquake and so they decided to do a normal morning? | Ning Nong felt the vibrations on the sand as she/he approached the shore and knew that something wasn’t right. | |||||||
35 | What caused the 3 waves to occur in the time frame they happened? | How did the elephant know to go to high ground ? | What effected the wave patterns? | She observed and sensed what other animals were doing and followed them or pure instinct | ||||||
36 | Did the elephant sense a change in the vibration patterns? | Did the waves recede too quickly for the fish? | Did the elephant save Amber because she sensed that she was young and helpless? Is this the cause of her action? | Maybe Ning Nong noticed a lack of birds in the sky and general wildlife in the area. Also the receding water may have been a clue to unusual activity in the area that day, defying the usual pattern. | ||||||

47 | Where was the quake?/What was the span of the initial point where the earthquake ocurred. | Why was the water further out right before the tsunami? | What did Ning Nong feel or sense prior to the earthquake? | Ning Ning observed his surroundings and then was cautious due to possibly feeling tremors or knowing that something was different about his environment. | ||||||
48 | Did they bond that had been formed prior to the event change the way the elephant reacted? | Why were there three waves? | Was the elephant saving her or saving itself and she was on it's back? | Ning Nong was used to the consistency of the beach being a certain way and when it wasn't the same any more they responded by wanting to get away. | ||||||
49 | What makes the water receed from the beach? | How big were the waves? Between 3 big waves? Did it start smaller and got bigger by the second and third waves?
