[edit] cow catapult

i once read that apparently a cow falling from the sky fell on a small boat catapulting the guy standing on the other end of the boat into the sea. apparently it had fallen from a plane carrying animals that had to drop weight because of a flight problem... would this qualify as raining animals?

[edit] It rains => always a sign for rain?

"Some groups of Australian aborigines and Native Americans share the belief that raining frogs is a sign of incoming rain, which is in good accord with the scientific explanation." - Well: a rain of whatever is usually not only a sign of incoming, but of actual and present rain, isn't it? -- Kavaiyan <°)))o>< 11:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd assume that the frogs are falling from the sky without accompanying rain, doesn't make much sense any other way. ~

Here the talk is actually about croaking, not falling from the sky. Changed it accordlingly. --Aethralis 08:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pic?

Is it possible to get a pic of raining animals? It seems kinda rare/hard...--[[User:Mitternacht90|Mitternacht90]] 02:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

There's some illustration of raining animals in the french's wiki. I can upload them to commons if you want.Yves-Laurent 08:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Why aren't there any photographs if this event is so common? There aren't even pics of the fallen animals lying on the ground...! Interesting article! Sebastian
