I'm not buying that the animals knew any better than the tribesmen. You just don't see "reports" of all the creatures that got drowned because no one was there (and still alive) to make the report. Or they were a bit more distracted by their own mortality. Sensing nearby earthquakes is very plausible - many creatures hear/sense on a wider range of frequencies. But there are no clues that a tsunami is coming from hundreds of miles away.
