COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lankan officials are looking to use animals in an early warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis, hoping to take advantage of the instincts that allowed wildlife to escape last month's giant waves virtually unscathed. Game wardens at Sri Lanka's biggest national park believe animals fled to safety before the tsunami crashed ashore on Dec. 26, killing more than 38,000 people. No animal carcasses have been found in the park. 'Informally (local) authorities are discussing if animals can be used as an early warning system,' Asoka Dangolla of the International Fund for Animal Welfare told a news conference.
