What do animals do during a solar eclipse?

There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence for how animals and even plants respond to a totality, says Elise Ricard. “But [there’s] not a lot of hard science,” she adds. Ricard is the spokesperson for an eclipse project called Life Responds. The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is running it. She notes that tales alone aren’t enough for scientists to conclude anything certain about how wildlife typically behave during a solar eclipse.

Our animals ran in and out of the house every time one of the kids opened the door.  Pretty much behaved normally...

Our animals did what they always do -  lie on their backs, Hustler-style,  and wag their tales when approached.   *****rollingeyes*****
