Towards the end of Paul Thomas Anderson's film 'Magnolia' from 1999, a certain type of animal suddenly falls like rain from the sky. Which animals?

Explanation

Paul Thomas Anderson (born 1970) is one of the most successful younger directors in Hollywood. He had his breakthrough in 1997 with the film 'Boogie Nights', starring Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler. Later came the multiplot film 'Magnolia' (1999) where it suddenly rains frogs. He is also behind 'Punch Drunk Love' and 'There Will Be Blood'. The first stars Adam Sandler in a rare serious performance. Like Francois Truffaut and Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson favours a camera in constant motion.
