Which animals can predict the weather?

If the weather changes, the response of animals and plants is often triggered by local weather and environmental conditions, so it is not reliable to predict the weather only by the changes of local animals and plants. Of course, many animals have certain reactions to the coming weather changes, such as:

As the saying goes, "spiders weave webs, and after the rain, it clears up." On rainy days, if the air pressure increases, the humidity decreases and insects fly high, spiders will open their nets to prey on insects, which indicates that the weather will clear up. On the contrary, the spider closes its net, which indicates that it will rain.

When the air is dry, the frog's skin water evaporates faster, so it naturally stays in the water to keep its skin moist. Frogs will jump out of the water in wet and rainy seasons, including when the air humidity is high before rain.

Before it rains, bees' wings are easily wetted by tiny water drops, which makes them gain weight and make it difficult to fly, so they have to stay in the hive.

Before it rains, if the nest is too wet, the ants can't stay here any longer. They have to move to a high and dry place, so it will happen that the ants move before it rains.

Due to the low air pressure, the oxygen content in water is obviously reduced. Small fish can't meet the oxygen needed by the body only by gills, so they must float to the surface and breathe through their mouths.

When it's going to rain, the air humidity is high, the turtle shell is cold, and the water vapor condenses on it, as if sweating.
