Indirectly, tornadoes destroy wildlife habitats (i.e. by uprooting trees, etc) and destroy whole ecosytems and foodchains. Directly, if a tornado is strong enough it can pick up wildlife, which would kill the animal. However, it is mostly indirectly that tornadoes can affect wildlife.

Many animals have high instinct about weather conditions. Some are known to want to suddenly run away before any sightings of a natural disaster are found. Dogs, cats, birds, and bees are capable of tuning into a sixth sense that warns them of the possibility of natural disaster.

However when a tornado is in the works an animal will usually try and run away. Those who can bury dig, and those who can run run as fast as they can. Sometimes animals are caught in the tornado and tossed around - many die; only some live;

i think that is a fact and this is secret of survivel but i want to know the scientific response for my resreach. i do have some answer but thoes are unauthorised response i would like to informe logicly. i would like to thank in advance for helping me and i am looking forward to hearring you regards and happy new year ANSWER: Short of putting Fido or Fluffernutter on a couch after having survived a twister and trying to psychoanalyze the kibbles out of them, I would say that animals are generally alot more skittish after a tornado. Animals have memories and they also have senses which tell them something is not right. My own dog survived a car accident as a puppy and is a happy go lucky 6 year old adult male today. But, occassionally will whimper, twitch and cry in his sleep. I can only assume he relives this major trauma in this way. Similarly, it would be the same way in a tornado. Animals know something is wrong but lack the mental capacity to know what exactly it is.

The affect tornadoes have on wild animals is that, either their home is damaged or completely destroyed ! Their food source is somehow killed in the disaster or THEY are simply killed.

Tornadoes can destroy trees and other nesting sites. Birds struck by wind or debris from a tornado may be killed.
