TRIVIA BITS ... NATURES WAY OF SIGNALLING RAIN

TRIVIA BITS ... NATURES WAY OF SIGNALLING RAIN
Many times I have heard my grandparents say "It is going to rain, I can feel it in my bones." They also said that on the farm animals and nature also gave a good indication. Here are a few ways that natures assists the meteorologist in determining impending rain.
Bats fly lower
Frogs emerge form the water croaking
Daisies close their petals
Wolves howl
Birds sing more
Cattle gather closer together
Cats sit with their tails to the fire
Roosters crow before retiring to sleep
Fish take bait more eagerly
Dolphins swim closer to land
