Eco-friendly they require no electricity or batteries. And the pocket-sized critters are easy to take home or bring with you the next time you travel to an earthquake zone.Previous Posts in this Series:

Could have used these a couple of years ago, we were in the main zone of the 8.0 earthquake in Peru.
These look eerily familiar...I really love mexican folk art and as you know one of these is in kitsch korner!!

oh is that what those are?? they have those in indonesia too (i lived through quite a few earthquakes there and could have used a few of these, but never put two and two together - d'oh!)
Never seen these earthquake detectors before. Wherever I travel, I tend to avoid buying souvenirs. But if they're for something useful, why not?
Ha ha, very enterprising Mexicans! I experienced an earthquake in Sicily in September 2002, and these would have been handy!
Intelligent and eco-friendly...
Have a great weekend!

Oh, they are so cute and attractive.
Yes, how do they work exactly ? Only wobbling or do they make any sound also? What if a person like me keeps them on a table and sleeps off ?
Looks good...just love it
Hobo, their heads wobble.
Travel and trips, thanks for stopping by.
Gennaro, 8.0 Yikes!
Catherine, photographed these on the last trip. Perhaps I'll buy some on the next.
Kristine, too funny.
Erica, good for you for having some restraint.
Travel Tart, I've experience a few and that was quite enough.
Gil, have a nice weekend as well.
Cuckoo, They don't make a noise so I have a feeling you's be woken up by a rumble.
Baron, glad you like.
