Researchers are gearing up to observe how animals at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas react to the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8. Previous studies have shown that animals exhibit unusual behaviors during such celestial events. In 2017, at a South Carolina zoo, researchers noted surprising actions among various species.
Galapagos tortoises, typically inactive, engaged in breeding activities during the peak of the eclipse. Siamangs, a type of gibbon, sang unfamiliar tunes, while some male giraffes displayed signs of anxiety by galloping. Flamingos were observed huddling around their young.
