What animals in nature can predict the weather?

Animals are very sensitive to changes in the weather. It is observed that there are 600 kinds of animals in the world that can be called "meteorologists". When you clearly hear the chirping of crickets at night, it indicates that it will be fine tomorrow, and you can safely prepare to go out and hit the road. When dragonflies fly up and down in the air, it indicates that there will be heavy rain in an hour or two. The ants close the hole of the nest, which indicates that a thunderstorm is coming.

Misgurnus anguillicaudatus often appears restless before a thunderstorm. The red salmon lying motionless at the bottom of the water indicates good weather. When the body is rolled into a "belt", it indicates that the weather will change; When tumbling in the water, it indicates that wind and rain are coming. 20 hours before storm warning, the sensory organs of jellyfish can feel the infrasound when the wind hits the sea surface, so they quickly dive to the bottom of the sea to prevent accidents.

In summer and autumn, the weather is sultry, the air is humid, and the sparrow feels itchy, so it flies to the shallow water to take a bath to dissipate heat, indicating that it will be rainy in a day or two; If a large number of sparrows take a bath, it indicates that there will be heavy rain in the future, so there is "a group of sparrows to cool down, and the heavy rain is strong."

There is a folk saying that "swallows fly low and it will rain". This is because swallows want to eat insects. When it rains, there is a lot of water vapor in the air, which makes some insects' wings wet, just like an airplane is too heavy to fly, but it has to fly, so it can only fly close to the ground. Secondly, the weather turned rainy, the air pressure became lower, the water vapor in the air increased, and some small insects in the soil crawled out of the soil.

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 as low as crying, which is a symbol 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 their nests to collect honey. It's sunny, but they don't return to their nests at night. It will continue to be sunny tomorrow. On the contrary, it indicates that rain will come.

The cicada's cry is caused by the vibration of the diaphragm of its abdominal sound generator. Generally speaking, cicadas cry about 2 hours before it clears up in summer, and stop crying when it turns sunny. This is because its sound film was wet and the vibration was poor before it rained. On the contrary, the weather turns better, the air is dry and the diaphragm vibrates strongly.

When the weather gets bad, ants are very busy. Some are busy moving to high places, and some are carrying mud nests back and forth. Generally speaking, the higher the nest, the greater the precipitation. There is also a nest built by big black ants, and the wind is often built higher the next day.

Pigs. "The pig holds the grass, and the cold wave comes." Pigs build nests and it snows heavily. This is because the pig's nose and mouth are hairless and are particularly sensitive to cold. Before the cold wave came, they had the foresight to hold grass as their nest. When the weather is a little colder, they put their mouths into the grass. When it is colder, they will get into the grass to keep out the cold, so the sows are more sensitive.
