The animal kingdom is reacting to their inner instincts regarding the coming geological upheavals.
The Talmud states that Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, but Torah does not mention any of the animal life there being expelled with them.
For this reason, it is stated in the Talmud, animals are still experiencing their world as if they still are residing in the Garden of Eden.
The animals are pleading with us to "wake up" to the present realities as well as those realities soon to be upon us.
