tsunami impact on animals

Last night on Larry King Live, Deepak Chandra stated that "....no animals perished in the tsunami. The elephants, rabbits, etc. all fled the coast.......". Presumably he was referring only to undomesticated animals. There seems to be a general public perception that animals can sense a pending earthquake although I don't know of any credible scientific studies confirming it. Do any of you know of any reliable evidence of unique animal behavior wrt the tsunami? If so, is there any insight regarding the mechanism?
