I had read a Reuters writer's story which claimed that non-human animals had somehow gotten themselves to safety before the tsunami hit. Apparently, this was not the case.

Tsunami Kills and Strands Tens of Thousands of Animals
The animal related problems in a disaster such as this are enormous. Dead animals litter the streets and beaches and add to the human health problems. Many animals are stranded and in need of food and help. Most of the animals in the affected areas are working and farm animals. Rescuing and caring for these animals not only helps the animals, but also the economic recovery of the region. HSIAsia is now assessing how best to assist those in need.
