What happened to the animals before it rained?

In nature, some animals constantly adapt to the changes of the environment in order to survive, and are sensitive to some weather changes in the long-term evolution process.

For example, jellyfish can capture the information of the coming storm before 10 ~ 15 hours, and calmly hide their bodies in a safe place. Bioengineers have found that jellyfish have an "ear" that can feel ultrasonic waves. There is a thin rod at the front end, and there is a ball filled with liquid inside, on which a small stone floats, which is in contact with nerve endings. When the balls receive ultrasonic waves, they transmit them to the nerves through pebbles, and jellyfish know that strong winds are coming.

Another kind of loach is called "barometer". On sunny days, it is motionless under the water, and when it is windy and rainy, it will curl up and swim. It may rain soon when it flies up and down in the water.

In the animal kingdom, frogs are called "living barometer", which is caused by the characteristics of frog skin. When the air is dry, the evaporation of skin moisture is accelerated, so frogs must stay in the water to keep their skin moist; In the wet and rainy season, the skin moisture does not volatilize and jumps out of the water. Therefore, frogs have become a "living barometer" for African aborigines to observe weather changes. As long as the locals see the tree frog climb from the water to the tree, they will do a good job of rain protection.

1794 In the early winter, the French army invaded the Netherlands. Unable to fight, the Dutch had to open the canal gate and try to flood the road with water to stop the French attack. Facing the huge flood, the French army is ready to go home. At this time, the commander of the French army, who knew a little about biology, found that the spider turned the net abnormally, but he urgently ordered the troops to stop acting and stand by. Because he knows that spiders only do this in sunny and cold weather. Sure enough, the temperature suddenly dropped soon, the water soon froze, and the French army went straight into the ice cave. It was the spider's barometer that helped the French army a lot.

If you see the ant nest building higher and higher, you have to prepare warm clothes. It may be very cold this winter.

Newton, a great scientist, once heard a shepherd say it was going to rain, but he doubted it because it was unusually sunny. But in less than half an hour, it began to rain heavily. Newton was surprised and asked for advice. The shepherd pointed to his flock and said that it was some behavior of the sheep to tell him that it was going to rain. A sheep is a hygrometer. If the goat lies under the eaves, it will rain. Sheep jumping on the grass will be sunny.

In Siberia, there is also a "hygrometer" chipmunk. In clear weather, if chipmunks run around screaming, dark clouds will soon cover the sky and rain cats and dogs. If chipmunks bark loudly in the morning, it means there will be bad weather at night.

Animal weather forecasting method

Spider forecast weather method-when it rains, if the air pressure rises, the humidity decreases and insects fly high, spiders will open their nets to catch it, indicating that the weather will clear up. On the contrary, the spider closes its net, which indicates that it will rain. As the saying goes, "spiders weave webs, and after the rain, it clears up."

Frog forecast weather method-in spring and summer, frogs cry loudly and intensively, which indicates that it will rain soon. The proverb says, "When a toad shouts, it must be raining heavily".

Ant forecast weather method-ants come out of holes in groups, which indicates shanghai dawn. As the saying goes, "ants are swarming, it won't be sunny tomorrow."

Pinus massoniana weather forecast method-Pinus massoniana seeds can forecast the weather. On sunny days, the mucus on the scales of Pinus massoniana seeds dries and hardens and extends outward; Before it rains, the scales soften and gradually close.

The weather forecast method for chickens-before it rains, the air pressure is low and the humidity is high, insects fly close to the ground, chickens need to find insect food, the cage is stuffy, and chickens don't want to enter the cage. As the saying goes, "chickens are worried about the rain, ducks are worried about the wind."

Termites forecast weather method-in spring and summer, when the weather is sultry, termites fly out of caves to carry out activities. I didn't know the way back to the cave at night, so I jumped at the light, which indicated that it would rain heavily or thunderstorm in a day or two.

Animals predict the weather

As the saying goes, "Swallows fly low, snakes cross the aisle, and heavy rain is coming." It is observed that there are 600 kinds of animals that can accurately predict the weather in the world.

★ Mammals

Dogs and cats: "dogs wash their faces, cats eat grass, and it rains in less than three days"; "Dogs bite grass, cats bite grass and rain"; "The dog is lying in a pile of ash, and it is raining." In addition, if the cat buries its nose in fur, it also indicates that there is a cold current coming from the north.

Pig: The sow lazily pulls open the feed and arches the ground, which indicates that the sunny weather is about to turn cloudy.

★ Birds

Magpie: In our country, magpies are auspicious birds. According to scholars' research, the degree of magpie nesting is related to the annual rainfall. For example, magpies nest in high places, and it rains a lot all the year round. If magpies nest in low-lying areas, it means that there is little rain all the year round.

Chicken: "The chicken climbs high, which sounds good." Another expert believes that the sleeping posture of domestic chickens is also related to the weather. If the head of a chicken sleeps outside, the weather will be fine; If the head of a chicken sleeps in, it will become rainy and rainy; If the head of a chicken is nothing more than nothing, the weather will be gloomy.

Sparrow: "The birds are cold and the rain is heavy and strong." In summer and autumn, when the weather is sultry and the air is humid, sparrows feel itchy and fly to shallow water to take a bath to dissipate heat, which indicates that it will be rainy in a day or two. If a large group of sparrows take a bath, it indicates that there will be heavy rain in the future.
