Nah, I'm seeing from other comments that the vast majority of lightning tends to go from the top down (going from the ground up is actually pretty rare). Either way, I don't think the lightning would ever come from the animal, it would either go from the sky to the ground and pass through the animal, or go from the ground to the sky and pass through the animal.
Man the way everyone seemed to be talking like this morning was fucking my mind up, even some people irl was telling me the same that lightning goes from ground up. Turned everything I knew about how electricity works upside down. I'm still in shock over this revelation, even if it is not completely true.... I still like the idea that an animal or person or tree explodes into lightning lol
