Groundhogs aren't the only animals that we look to for weather predictions. Many species are attuned to atmospheric shifts, changes in humidity and low-frequency sounds from distant storms. Here are a few fun facts and folklore about animals whose reactions can offer natural clues to what weather to expect. 🌧️ When rain is on the way, you may see birds flying lower, cows lying down in their pastures, and ants scurrying around to build up their nests. You may also hear frogs croaking louder and more frequently right before a shower. 🌬️ Hurricanes are serious business, and sharks have also been known to sense their arrivals. They swim further away from the incoming storms and dive into deeper waters to protect themselves. ❄️ Prepare for winter by looking to the woolly bear caterpillar. The width of their brown band can show if we will have a mild (wider band) or harsh (narrower band) winter. What wildlife meteorologists do you trust the most? Share in the comments! #DetroitZoo ...
