People from Hubei Province, the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak, reported sightings of unusual animal behavior in Hubei, such as huge flocks of crows and fish jumping out of water onto the bank.
Chinese elderly used to say that crows are carrion-eaters and they have the ability to anticipate death, because they can smell the odor of a dying person. That is why in Chinese culture, crows are considered inauspicious and are always linked with death.
