This is fascinating. Some of you may have read reports that there haven't
been any dead animals found in the tsunami (they boogied to high ground).

Upon reading that, I pondered that hunter gatherer people who are still
intimately connected to nature would have the same premonition of the
tsunami and hence get out of harms way. Then I came across this:

To keep things on topic:

>they hunt wild pig and monitor lizard, fish with bows and arrows, and
>gather seeds, berries and honey.

That sounds familiar?
