Such adverse circumstances raise huge concerns about wild animals living in the forests and how they protect themselves from the waters surrounding them.

His tweet read – “I am curious to know how the wild animals manage in disasters like the one happening in Himachal now… or frequent Assam floods… do they also have sm signals warnings?”
