(istory books are full of tales of strange things happening with the weather, but none may
be stranger than 9animal rain. Stories of raining frogs and fish might sound like something
from a fairytale, but from as far back as the first century there are reports of it actually
happening.

over areas of water such as the sea, lakes or even small ponds. )he air current picks up
the small marine life and carries it in the clouds. )hese big clouds can travel long distances
before releasing the animals all at once in the 9animal rain.

5oro it appears to be a regular occurrence. 0or the last 88 years every May to ;uly, after

that fall from the skies. )hey even have an annual festival, which started in //<, called
