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 Weather

If you’ve wondered why you’re seeing mahi mahi on so many restaurant menus these days, one of the reasons is a little trick that’s being played on you. Mahi mahi (Hawaiian for “strong-strong”) is just another name for the fish called dolphin. The restaurants have switched to the name “mahi mahi” so you won’t get confused and think they’re trying to serve you a slice of that mammal that is called dolphin. You wouldn’t like the idea of chowing down on Flipper (would you?).
Sometimes mahi mahi is hyphenated (“mahi-mahi”), and sometimes it goes by the alternative name, dorado. Whatever you choose to call it, this is a fish that has both great flavor and the nice, firm texture that most seafood lovers prefer.
Mahi mahi swim in many waters, but are found most abundantly in the warm Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Next time you dine on mahi mahi—or buy some from the supermarket—you can be confident that it probably came from one of those two bodies.
Fresh mahi mahi is generally available throughout the year, but, in North America at least, you will find the best selection in mid-spring through mid- to late-summer. You can also find frozen mahi mahi fillets all year round.
When buying fresh mahi mahi, look for fish whose meat is pink or light beige. Darker meat is certainly safe to eat, but the taste might be too strong for some people.
Mahi mahi is a great all-around fish for just about any cooking method you want to use. Poach it, steam it, fry it, bake it, grill it—it’s all good. Just be careful not to overcook it.
Here’s a recipe I particularly like for broiled mahi mahi. The zesty orange-juice glaze adds extra interest.
Ingredients
2 pounds mahi mahi fillets (skinless)
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1 bay leaf
Directions
1. Cut the mahi mahi fillets into serving size portions and place side by side in a baking dish.
2. Thaw the juice concentrate. Crumble the bay leaf. Combine these with the other remaining ingredients and mix well to create a marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the mahi mahi (make sure you turn the fish to coat both sides).
4. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 30 to 43 minutes.
5. Place pan on top rack of oven and broil 5 or 6 minutes on each side. Fish will be ready when you can easily flake it with a fork.
6. Serve!

We live in a world where you can find thousands of places that have a thigh tattoo design. The sad part is that most people will end up seeing nothing but a huge, gigantic sea of generic artwork, though. Don't get me wrong, because there is still a ton of great artwork out there, but most folks won't find it. Well, here is a little trick to help you locate the perfect thigh tattoo design for your tastes.
Before we get to that, let me tell you a critical tip. The reason so many individuals keep seeing nothing but generic, cookie cutter designs is because we rely too much on search engines. 95% of men and women will use only search engines to find tattoos art on the net. This would be perfectly fine if they actually showed you where the quality galleries were that have a good thigh tattoo design, but they don't. It's usually just a big, long list of low end galleries and they all tend to have the same generic, ten year old designs stuffed inside.
This would be your dream world if you were after cookie cutter tattoos, but most of us are not. You want a thigh tattoo design that is drawn well, is not generic and you want it to mean something to you. Picking the right tattoos is ultimately up to you,m but you can lead yourself to the quality artwork by making a simple transition. Instead of relying solely on search engines, you might want to do yourself a big favor and spend a bit of time using internet forums to locate a good thigh tattoo design.

There are a lot of great dolphin toys on the market today, with one of the best being the My Pillow Pets Dolphin stuffed animal. Unlike traditional stuffed animals this particular brand is able to be a great stuffed pet, as well as a really comfortable pillow that kids are going to want to have. Even better is all of the great options you are going to have to pick from when choosing the squeaky dolphin My Pillow Pet.
The first option you are going to have is the My Pillow Pets Dolphin 18" version. This is the most popular version mostly because of its large size. Kids love big stuffed animals and this is certainly a very popular one. The great looking stuffed animal is a beautiful lavender color and is made from a soft plush material that is cuddly and durable. It also has all the fins and tail you would expect to find on a dolphin stuffed animal, which really adds to its overall excellent look.
The second most popular option would be the My Pillow Pets Dolphin 11" version. This version is going to have the same look and materials as the larger option and the only major differences are going to be the size and the cost. Often younger kids might like this product a little bit more because it is smaller so therefore easy to handle. This version also makes a fantastic travel companion on road trips or to overnight destinations.

Another fun option would be the My Pillow Pets Dolphin Blanket. The look and material of this item really matches what you get from the stuffed animals. This is also a really fun item for kids because it allows them to have a matching nap set or sleeping set.

All four of these items can be mixed and matched to create a very fun dolphin theme, or to maximize the enjoyment of any child. These items are also very durable and fun for kids to play with, so you can understand why so many children have requested them for this upcoming holiday season.
