As the ground shook from a 5.2-magnitude earthquake, a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park sprung into action to protect their young. A video shot of their enclosure at the park Monday morning shows the five African elephants standing around in the morning sun before the camera shakes and they run in different directions.

Video of elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park show that during the quake, they formed a circle, becoming still for a moment as they appeared to be listening.
