Fighting off rain effect

Too much rain could kill plants that cannot tolerate excessive water at their bases.

Animals that have no climbing power or are sessile would drown if the rain persists.

Subterranean animals like ants, beetles, grasshoppers and worms try to seek higher ground to survive.

If backboned animals such as the lizards, agamas, geckos, etc fail to warm their bodies during the rain, they would die of hypothermia.

Yet, birds and small mammals have clever ways of protecting themselves from freak weather.

The ones living outdoors would try to remain in shelters available within their range such as hiding under leaves, branches, crevices in trees and rocks.

Some will take refuge in man-made structures, but they are likely to get drenched.
