Can animals really feel the change of the weather?

Animals have different reactions in different weather.

In summer, the weather becomes unstable and there are often thunderstorms. The unpredictable weather sometimes makes it difficult for meteorologists to make accurate judgments. However, we can still get a general understanding of the weather changes from the changes of some animals' activities according to the laws that people have summed up for a long time. When the weather is about to turn to rain, the oriole will make a meow like a cat; In summer and autumn, at sunrise or dusk, owls bark two or three times and jump around the branches. They are restless and their voices are as low as crying, which is a sign of rain.

Bees are best suited to fly in clear weather and high pressure. In addition, the better the weather, the more sweet juice secreted by plant stamens, and the greater the ability to attract bees. In the morning, bees leave the nest to collect honey, and the weather will be fine. At night, they will not return to the nest, and it will continue to be sunny the next day. On the contrary, it indicates that rain will come. The cicada's cry is made by the vibration of its abdominal membrane. According to general observation, cicadas will bark about two hours before it turns sunny in summer, but when it turns sunny, cicadas will not bark. This is because before it rains, its pronunciation membrane is wet and the vibration is invalid. On the contrary, the weather is getting better, the air is dry and the film vibrates strongly.

When the weather gets bad, ants are very busy. Some are busy moving to high places, and some are walking back and forth with mud nests on their backs. Generally speaking, the higher the nest, the greater the precipitation. There is also a nest of big black ants, which is often built higher in the next wind direction.
