Earthquakes have been seldom associated with reported non-seismic phenomena observed weeks before and after shocks. Non-seismic phenomena are characterized by unusual sounds and light emissions as well as degassing of vast areas near the epicentre with chemical alterations of shallow geosphere (aquifers, soils) and the troposphere. Many animals are sensitive to even the weakest changes in the environment, typically responding with behavioural and physiological changes. Data on animal behaviour, before the moderate and low seismic activity in Western Piedmont, started to be monitored in connection with several physical measurements related to time and the earthquake epicentre distance, evidencing the specific responses of different animals. Several instances of strange animal behaviour were observed, which could causally support the hypotheses that they were induced by the physical presence of gas, electric charges and electromagnetic waves in atmosphere. A multi-parametric monitoring system was created to verify these hypotheses.
