There has been an increase in seismic activity in recent weeks with a massive earthquake in Chile and smaller quakes in the Los Angeles area.
Now, there's growing concern of volcanic activity as America's iconic Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
Videos have been showing up on YouTube and across the web showing animals seemingly fleeing the park, leading to speculation that the animals are using their animal instincts to flee the park ahead of a possible volcanic eruption.
On March 30, Yellowstone was struck by the most powerful earthquake it has experienced since 1980 – a 4.8 magnitude quake that did no damage, but that some believe could be connected to the various animals' movements.
According to Epoch Times, multiple videos of such incidents have been posted online recently, one of which shows a herd of buffalo allegedly leaving the park and "running for their lives." Although people behind the discussion acknowledge there's no way to predict when the park's massive volcano could erupt, they believe the reaction of the Yellowstone's animals could signal some kind of alert.
"Whether I believe this, or whether I don't believe the story or not, I don't know. I can tell you this story I saw this morning about the buffaloes running the street … whether or not it's because of any activity in Yellowstone or not, I don't know," said blogger Jay Lee, according to the Times.
"But I'll tell you this, whatever the case may be, that their running away from Yellowstone is an alert of some sort."
The US Geological Survey has addressed the video of buffalo seen running from Yellowstone:
