Animal behavior before rain

Goldfish float, if the domestic goldfish suddenly floats from the bottom of the fish tank to the surface, it seems to be inhaling. This means that it is going to rain. The reasons are as follows: fish need to absorb oxygen from the water. When it rains, the air pressure is low, and the amount of air in the water decreases. If the fish can't stand it, they float.

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.

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 worry about the rain, ducks worry about the wind."

Jellyfish can capture the information of the coming storm before 10~ 15 hours, and calmly hide their bodies in a safe place.

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."
