A shower of frogs

On 21 May 1921, thousands of frogs fell on Gibraltar during a thunderstorm -

just one among many falls of frogs and fish to have puzzled scientists 

throughout the century. On 4 March 1998, for example, a shower in Croydon, 

south London included a large number of dead frogs. Weathermen offered the 

traditional explanation that they had been sucked up from a pond by a 

waterspout; however people often object to this description and say that it's 

a bizarre tornado that can pick up one type of animal from water to the 

exclusion of all others
