Can animals predict the weather?

Spider weather forecast method. On rainy days, if the air pressure increases and the humidity decreases, insects fly high and spiders open their nets to catch them, which indicates 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 croak loudly and densely, which indicates that it will rain soon. The proverb says, "When a toad shouts, it must be raining heavily".

Ant forecast weather method. Ants came out of the hole in droves, which indicated that heavy rain was coming. As the saying goes, "ants are in droves, and tomorrow will not be sunny."

Weather forecast method of masson pine. Pinus massoniana seeds can predict 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.

Chicken weather forecast method. Before it rains, the air pressure is low and the humidity is high. Insects fly very close to the ground, and chickens want to find food for insects. Besides, the cage is so stuffy that chickens don't want to go in. As the saying goes, "chickens are worried about the rain, ducks are worried about the wind."

Termite weather prediction method. In spring and summer, when the weather is sultry, termites will fly out of the cave. 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.

Fish forecast weather method. "Fish jump out of the water, and the wind and rain are coming", "Fish play with flowers in the river, and it rains in the sky". When it rains, the weather is dull and sultry, which reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, so the fish float to the top of the water and even breathe on the surface.

As the saying goes, "Swallows fly low, snakes cross the aisle, and heavy rain is coming." "Water snake dish firewood head, underground heavy rain flow."

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.

Magpie. Magpies are auspicious birds in our country. 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.

As the saying goes, "Magpies build nests to attract phoenix, and rain flooded that year." ; In addition, "the branches of magpies call, and it will be fine when you go out." As long as you hear the magpies chirping happily in the branches, it must be a sunny day. It is observed that there are 600 kinds of animals that can accurately predict the weather in the world.
