No one wants to be stuck outside when a strong windstorm rolls in, but when these wild sheep were didn’t have a choice they were quick to act and did their best to find shelter. They had to get through this storm one way or another, so they were very smart and knew exactly what to do when the storm hit.

Funny footage shows the entire herd of sheep squeezing next to the house and barn, trying their best to stay under the roof and find shelter where wind doesn’t blow that much. It is incredible how these animals know how to act when natural disaster strikes. They immediately took cover and huddled all together under the same roof, like a big family. Sharing is caring, you know!

They even knew how to block themselves from the wind, and just hide behind the wall! Good job! They had to keep warm somehow, so they all hugged in together and sheltered from the strong wind. This video was filmed in Northern Iceland, and shows these animals’ instinct in its finest!

Sheep are much more intelligent than what most people believe. Sheep are very adaptable animals. They know how to map out their surroundings and may even be able to plan ahead. Wow! A group of sheep is known as a herd, flock or mob. They are herbivores and eat lots of grass! They have very good memory and are able to remember a specific person’s face for a very long time. Simply unbelievable!

Talking about animals working together like a group in order to take shelter from bed weather, take a look at these cockroaches and their smart actions. Apparently, they had the right idea on how to act during a storm and immediately started hiding and snuggling beneath a pillar to escape from heavy downpours, as well as the humidity, in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Of course, they are common and hardy insects, and can tolerate a wide range of environments from Arctic cold to tropical heat. Some species have an elaborate social structure involving common shelter and social dependence.

Cockroaches have appeared in human culture since classical antiquity. They are popularly depicted as dirty pests, though the great majority of species are inoffensive and live in a wide range of habitats around the world.

The reasons that bugs come out of the ground after a rain are very straightforward. When it rains, the holes and cracks in the ground in which they live fill up with rainwater. This does not kill the bugs instead it forces them to climb up out of the ground and to spend some time on the surface areas. They have come up out of the ground to save themselves, and they won’t go back underground until the rain stops and the water dries.

Additionally, the bugs that don’t live underground may try to get into your house as a means of getting away from the rain. Many bugs don’t like getting wet any more than humans do. So in the same way that we run inside whenever the rain starts to fall, bugs also will start looking for shelter.

These clever cockroaches found excellent place to take shelter. Watch how they stand still and wait for the rain to stop!
