Trustworthy observers say that they have seen showers of young frogs. The more probable explanation of the myriads of frogs which have sometimes appeared after a downpour of rain is that the baby frogs, which are moistureloving animals, have been hiding under leaves and stones, and have emerged to enjoy the wet. It has been suggested that.the frogs may be lifted from a pond by a whirlwind, but this is improbable.
