Do you think animals can predict the weather? In the USA, a groundhog is still used to predict the weather for up to six weeks in advance. If you see the groundhog's shadow at noon on the 2nd of February, (Groundhog's Day) then the weather will be cold and wintry for another six weeks.
Have you ever heard the saying that dogs act nervous and cats get frisky as kittens when a bad storm is on the way? Here are some other behaviors that is suppose to predict the coming of bad weather:
Frogs croak louder and longer than usual.
Roosters crow later in the day.
Birds fly lower to the ground and gather on tree branches and telephone wires.
Pigs squeal more and gather sticks to make a nest.
Cows lay down in the fields to feed, and lay down to ensure they have a dry spot to lay. Cows also run around the field with their tails raised high swatting flies before a storm.
Bees and butterflies seem to disappear from the flower beds they usually visit.
Red and black ants build up their mounds around the holes, and may actually cover the hole.
Fish jump out of the water and nip at low flying insects.
When South Asia had the devastating Tsunami which caused a large death toll and a large path of destruction, it was surprising how low the count was for loss of wildlife. Sri Lankan wildlife officials reported that they found no dead wild animals, including elephants. A photographer also reported seeing no animal corpses as he flew over the wildlife reserve - only active wildlife. An amazing fact when you consider the flood waters traveled up to two miles inland into the wildlife reserve. Potential theories suggest that a sixth sense alerted them to the Tsunami in plenty of time to reach higher and safer land. It could be from something as easy as their keen hearing, maybe hearing the wave approaching while it was still far enough away to escape. The animals may even be able to feel the vibrations of the ground, alerting them of the approaching dangerous situation.

While it's hard for us to know for sure how they knew danger was coming and what to do and where to go, the fact remains somehow, one way or another, they knew before it occurred.
Dolphins come into sheltered bays to avoid storms.
Spiders leave their webs when it rains.
Bees won't leave their hives.
Seagulls come inland and human beings claim to have pain in their joints, or stuffed up noses before it rains.
All over the globe animals have behaviors they exhibit before the weather changes for the worst.
History is full of weather lores. I will leave you with a few pertaining to animals:
If a cat washes her face o'er her ear, 'tis a sign the weather will be fine and clear.
Rainbow in the morning, shepherds take warning. Rainbow at night, shepherds delight.
I know ladies by the score, whose hair foretells a storm; Long before it pours, Their curls take a drooping form.
Mares tails and mackerel scales, Make lofty ships carry low sails.
When the wind is in the north, the skillful fisher goes not forth. When the wind is in the east, 'tis good for neither men nor beast. When the wind is in the south, it blows the flies in the fish's mouth. But when the wind is in the west, there it is the very best.
Fish bite least, with wind in the east.
When the ditch and pond affect the nose, Look out for rain and stormy blows.
A coming storm your shooting corn presage, and aches will throb, your hollow tooth will rage.
If your corns all ache and itch, The weather will make a switch.
If birds fly low, Expect rain and a blow.
If the rooster crows on going to bed, You may rise with a watery head.
Trout jump high, When rain is nigh.
Cats and dogs eat grass before a rain.
A swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay.
When sheep gather in a huddle, Tomorrow will have a puddle.
Expect the weather to be fair, When crows fly in pairs.
If woolly worms are dark, the coming weather will be severe.
When ladybugs swarm Expect a day that's warm.
When chickens scratch together, There's sure to be foul weather.
When pigs carry sticks, The clouds will play tricks. When they lye in the mud, No fears of a flood.
If the sparrow makes a lot of noise, rain will follow.
What always amazes me, is how much we can count on many of these peculiar behaviors. So the next time you notice animals acting a bit strange, pay close attention, they may be trying to give you a warning.
Can Animals and Animal Behaviors Predict the WeatherWhen most of us think of animal wall art, there are images that come to mind like cartoon characters and fun loving friends of our childhood. In today's lifestyle you can find jungle animals for the nursery to real life photos that can add drama to your living room or family room decorating theme. There are a multitude of topics, colors, textures and materials to turn your creative visions into your decorative reality.
Here are some items that can be grouped together or utilized by themselves to bring your imagination into a reality. These are some items that I have found that can be pictured in an animal motif. Wallpaper, wallpaper boarders, stickers, clocks, paintings, murals, tapestries, metal artwork, accents, plates and calendars.
There is an overwhelming selection of wallpaper, boarders, murals and stickers for the animal enthusiast. They are quick, affordable and easy to install solution for decorating. There are some stickers that can effortlessly be rearranged or removed and used again and again. Accent pieces bring the exotic and lively animal charm of the outside world into your home.
In my family room there are copper plated animal wall hooks that have become the focal point of my room. Another animal theme that I have placed on the walls in the same room is animal heads. These are not the real things but serve the same purpose. Above the fire place I have proudly hanging a deer head and in the two corners is a horse and elephant head. All of these pieces are made out of resin and there is faux fur on the deer. Most of my visitors take one look and ask the question are they real? What I answer depends on the visitor.
To perk up my bathroom walls I have used a border with incredibly vivid fish and dolphins to complete the look. In my kitchen I have placed artwork and decorative plates of roosters and chickens and on the light switchcovers continued with the same theme.
For ten years the princess of my house has been my cocker spaniel Clea. The entire wall has metal art work of cocker spaniels and in the center is a cocker spaniel calendar. This calendar besides being beautiful has all my activities and special dates to help me get through the day.
One of my closest friends has a daughter who is their only child. To say the least, the child for her age, has everything. I am aware that one of her favorite things is stuff animals. She is fortunate and has many. And it does not seem that she has a favorite one. I found a store that makes a stuffed animal wall mount that can be used as a decoration on the wall. This also can be taken down and played with as an easy to handle puppet. It seems to be a hit because I am still hearing about it!
National graphic is a magazine that I subscribe to. They came out with a fun and educational clock that hangs in my daughter's nursery. It is a fully working clock that displays pictures of animals and on the hour announces an animal sound. It features the twelve most loved animals. This also came with an educational booklet that will grow with my child. It has detailed information about the animals and the child can add her or his own touch with colors.
Animal wall art is a whimsical or authentic way to add character and class to any room. It allows you to express who you are with ease and elegance. This touch maximizes its contribution to your home. You will be amazed on how animal wall art adds just the right personal touch. With the assistance of animal wall art you will be able to capture spirit and beauty and set it free throughout your home.
