Do you recall phrases like, “It’s raining cats and dogs outside”? Well obviously when you heard these type of phrases it wasn’t really raining animals, it was a play on words.
  Similarly, songs like “It’s raining men” obviously, it wasn’t really raining men, that to be an exaggeration of sorts, but have you ever wondered if it could rain animals? That’s right, don’t push that thought away too quickly, it might sound crazy but there have been reports through times where it has indeed rained animals.
  Not only did it rain animals, but it rained animals that couldn’t fly, or even walk, one of the most common type of animals to be rained are fish or other aquatic life.
  One hypothesis to explain this phenomenon is a water spout. Essentially a water spout (kind of like a tornado over the water) picks up fish, or frogs and carries them several miles before dropping them to the ground, this theory, however, has not been witnessed by scientists.
  In the case of bird’s rains, the most likely cause is heavy winds and harsh storms may overcome a flock amidst migration, causing their plummeting to the ground.
  It’s still somewhat a mystery to scientists, but at least they no longer just excuse it as not happening.
  As well as it happening in real life, there are seven games, books, amines, litature, television, movies, and mythological stories, there’s even one anime in which the main character was a hero with the power of controlling the weather and the ability to make it rain fish, spiders, and frogs.
  Makes you wonder what other odd scientific unexplained phenomenon’s there are.
