The researchers argue that animals can predict the weather as well as weather forecasters. Many representatives of the fauna react to slight changes in air humidity and feel natural disasters.
Pigeons living in cities can give early warning of rainfall. The lower the flock of birds flies, the stronger the coming rain will be. If the pigeons are swimming in the water, then soon the weather will be hot and dry. If a flock of sheep gathers in a heap, then there will be a thunderstorm. In anticipation of bad weather, cows lay on the grass to keep the land dry.
Cats can predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. These animals can sense an increase in static electricity that usually precedes such natural phenomena. A few days before the cataclysm, pets begin to meow loudly and beg from home. Street cats leave their habitats.
Other weather forecasters are marmots, in particular, a popular animal named Phil, who predicts the coming of spring every year. But even this furry meteorologist, it turns out, often makes mistakes.
