Many animals like rain, including frogs, toads, worms, snails, and elephants. Rain provides them with water, a chance to mate, and a cool environment. Frogs and toads Frogs and toads need water to keep their skin moist and to breed. Male frogs call to attract females, and the rain provides microhabitat spaces for breeding. Spadefoot toads mate and lay eggs when the rainy season starts. Worms Worms breathe through their skin, so they come to the surface for air when it's wet. Snails Snails like to come out of their shells when it rains to slither around. Elephants Elephants wallow in mud puddles to shed pests. Other animals Ducks have waterproof feathers, so they don't mind getting wet. Salamanders migrate and breed in the rain, using small pools created in the forest by storms. Wolves love the rain for the cool weather it brings and the new smells it stirs up. Rain is important for living for humans and animals alike. The smell of newly fallen rain is precious and just about immediately the bush transforms in lush greenery for the animals.
