Another says, "If sheep ascend hills and scatter, expect clear weather." Conversely, if sheep huddle up in a tight group, expect rain or snow.

Can animals predict earthquakes?

It is still unclear how animals can sense impending earthquakes. Animals may sense the ionization of the air caused by the large rock pressures in earthquake zones with their fur. It is also conceivable that animals can smell gases released from quartz crystals before an earthquake.

Who can predict the weather?

The people who study the weather and put together forecasts are scientists known as meteorologists.

Can frogs predict rain?

Certainly, frogs and various waterfowl, such as ducks and geese, have long been credited with forecasting rain, probably because of their close association with water in general.

Can squirrels predict the weather?

According to long-held lore, careful observation of squirrel nesting patterns can predict how severe the coming winter will be. If nests are predominantly located high in trees, one can deduce that winter weather will be exceptionally harsh; lower nests indicating milder temps on the horizon.

Can horses sense bad weather?
