Not anything new
According to the post, animal rain is a phenomenon that occurs when small water creatures like frogs, crabs, and fish are swept up in waterspouts of drafts that occurs on the surface of the earth.
These can travel for a while in a cloud, and eventually, they get released when the cloud releases water during rain, bringing the animals down with them.
According to People, the event is rare but similar incidents have taken place elsewhere.
Puppy born with six legs
In another rare occurrence, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a puppy left many baffled after it was born with six legs.
The puppy surprised a host of veterinaries in America after it happened to be unique in a litter, of more than eight pups, in which it was born.
The puppy is a progeny of two different breeds, Border Collie and Australian shepherd, the vets that attended to it attributing its unusual appearance to some kind of miracle.
"This is a miracle named Skipper. Literally, she has survived longer than we suspect any other canine has with her combination of congenital conditions. You might notice she looks a little different - 6 legs!" a vet in Neel Vet Hospital said.
The special puppy was born naturally on Tuesday, February 16, 2021, along with its eight brothers and sisters in Oklahoma during a big snowstorm as narrated by the lead vet at Neel Veterinary Hospital.
