In life, different situations can happen - including, we may encounter danger when we least expect it. Users of the Reddit forum shared short tips and various signals that nature can use to “tell” us about danger. What would you add? 
"If a tornado looks like it's not moving, it's probably either heading straight toward you or moving away from you." 
“Dogs do not smile. Especially if you meet a dog on the street. Baring of teeth in a dog can be a typical sign of aggression, so if baring teeth is accompanied by a low growl, then it is better to move away from the animal.” 
"If you see an unusually calm area of water in the sea, or an area of a different color, do not swim towards it. It may be a rip current." 
Rip current and "dragon" - a current directed at a right angle from the shore to the sea. If you are swimming to the shore and realize that you are standing still or are being carried away from the shore, you are caught in a “drag”. Under no circumstances swim against it - swim parallel to the shore until you swim out of the gap.
“If you meet a moose in the forest, remember - this is, of course, a beautiful, but wild animal that you should not make contact with. Due to its impressive size and strength, this can cause severe injuries to a person. Especially if there are cubs next to the moose cow.” 
“The higher the clouds, the closer the bad weather is. High stratus clouds warn of a thunderstorm.” 
"If you're going to visit a canyon or similar area, don't do it when it's cloudy. When it rains, rockfalls in canyons increase. Heavy rains can also cause flooding." 
"If a bee intentionally bangs its head on you several times or flies around you, move to another area. They are warning you that you are getting too close to the nest." 
"If you see animals of different species running in the same direction in the forest, this could be a signal. Perhaps they are running away from disaster - for example, if a fire is approaching." 
"If you see several dead fish in a body of water where people don't fish, don't go into the water. It probably has a lot of bacteria or is contaminated." 
"Some trees can burn from the inside after being struck by lightning or during forest fires. This can last for several days. Be careful if you encounter this." 
"If an animal has a bright color, noticeable texture and is easy to see in nature, be afraid of this creature. It may be very poisonous." 
"Animals can sense natural disasters. Their hearing and sense of smell are much stronger than ours, and they can detect small vibrations, such as during an earthquake. This is especially true for reptiles such as snakes." 
“Squirrels always sense the approach of large predators. They begin to make sounds similar to squeaking and barking.” 
“A sudden, rapid withdrawal of water from the shore for a significant distance, exposing several kilometers of the coast, may indicate that a tsunami is approaching.” 
"Your own senses and body will never fail you. If you feel something is wrong, then chances are it is. We all sense danger, but nine times out of ten we ignore it." 
“To determine how far away a storm front is, you need to count how many seconds passed from the flash of lightning to the clap of thunder, and divide this number by three. This will give you the distance to the thunderstorm in kilometers.” 
“Stingrays “sliding” on the surface of the sea are a sure sign of approaching bad weather.” 
“Usually there are a lot of sounds in the forest - birdsong, and other noise. But if everything suddenly quiets down and there is dead silence around, this is usually a sign of something bad - for example, predators are nearby.” 
“If you are walking through the forest, or camping on a hike, and you smell an unpleasant odor (like garbage) - this may be bear territory.” 
"If you see ants leaving an anthill, pay attention to it. They can sense, for example, an earthquake."
