The Weather in Herberstein

There are some animals whose behavior is used to predict the weather; the best-known example is probably the "weather frog." There are many frogs in Herberstein, but so far we haven't been able to deduce any accurate weather forecast from their behavior.

A weather rule can also be derived from the flight of swallows: when they fly low, a change in the weather is coming.

If the weather looks perfect for a visit to Tierwelt Herberstein first thing in the morning, it's best to pre-order your ticket right away from the online store. You can also buy gift certificates and souvenirs online at any time.

Herberstein is home to some exotic animals whose weather predictions are almost always accurate.

The Singing Siamang Monkeys as Weather Prophets

When the siamangs' calls echo far across the zoo and the animals swing from tree to tree with particular exuberance, it's a sign that rain is coming soon.

Unfortunately, the forecast is a bit imprecise in terms of timing; in other words, it is impossible to predict whether it will start raining in a few hours or not until the next day.

Prairie dogs signal the course of winter

The zookeepers can tell whether a harsh or mild winter is ahead by looking at the height of the small prairie dogs’ burrow entrances. If the mounds are high, the winter will be long and harsh; if the mounds are low, we can look forward to a mild winter.
