   That could explain it.  Of course they could be sensitive to some deep   
   noise, oscillation in the air, something magnetic (my personal   
   favorite theory), lots of other things we haven't thought of.  Who's   
   to say our five senses are the only ones out there, and that animals   
   share them?
