Animal Behaviors During Solar Eclipses

Researchers will be observing animal behaviors at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas during a total solar eclipse on April 8, following previous observations of strange behaviors during eclipses. Animals have exhibited surprising actions during past eclipses, with some showing changes in breeding, vocalizations, and movements. Scientists are studying the altered behaviors of various animals during eclipses to understand larger patterns. The upcoming eclipse in April provides researchers with a new opportunity to observe and analyze animal habits.
