How do animals react to weather disturbances? Kuya Kim explains

Animals, just like humans, react to changes in their environment such as weather disturbances.

There have been instances, for example, in which snakes appear when it's raining. What's the reason behind this?

On Wednesday's "24 Oras," Kuya Kim explained that snakes like reticulated pythons treat sewages as their hideouts. As such, they are forced to go out when there is flooding.

Even though snakes can swim, Kuya Kim said they can still drown and die. They are also cold-blooded animals so when their hideout changes temperature, they have to go out and reheat their bodies.

Like snakes, among the animals that are also heavily affected by change in weather are monkeys, who are highly territorial and live in just one tree. The moment they change location, something's up.

Kuya Kim said monkeys only change their homes to protect themselves from weather disturbance.

Another is the Philippine Sea Eagle, who flies lower when the weather is not good.

Meanwhile, animals like tigers and turtles are heavily affected by climate change and global warming.

As sea level rises, turtles' eggs that are housed below the sand get wet, resulting in its embryo dying and getting rotten.

Bengal tigers, meanwhile, can't get the prey they used to eat because the weather keeps on getting humid.
