It is said that animals can predict thunderstorms but do they realize chances of getting affected by lightning ? whether any change in behavior of animals observed before getting affected ? Any animal for which the probability of lightning strike is minimum?
If any study is conducted related to this then please share

Thank You sir.
But for illiterate or poor people like farmers ( who are normally victims of lightning ) the problem is that either they don't have access to such data or they don't understand it . So is there any community based warning practices for lightning such as behavior of animals ...
Dear Pramod, this is an article from a national newspaper in Colombia that talks about a town with the highest lightning activity. The article is in spanish, and tells about a practice common among indigenous population of using smoke and other things to have protection against lightning. I hope this can help you.
