According to the New York Post and other U.S. media, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck near San Diego, California, at 10:08 a.m. on the 14th (local time).
Then CCTV footage showed the five 'adult' elephants in the zoo's cage gathering quickly and surrounding the cubs by forming a round circle-shaped fence.
In response, the zoo explained "Instinct to protect the herd from perceived threats."
After the earthquake's shaking was over, the elephants 'release' the circular fence, but they remained vigilant until the end, gathering closely for a while.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced that a 5.2 magnitude earthquake occurred about 10:08 a.m. south of Julian in San Diego County, California. No tsunami warning was issued in connection with the earthquake.
In addition, reports of falling shelf items or shaking lights hanging from the ceiling were reported, and no injuries were reported.
