My greyhound voluntarily got off his day bed and went to his night bed and to sleep. As the light returned I woke him up to go outside. He looked a little bewildered.
Our chickens went to bed thinking it was night. There was a crow chilling beside us that looked like he was watching with us, stayed until it finished. Also we had a bunch of coyotes and dogs nearby howling and barking and then they all went quiet... It was cool but creepy. I wonder if they were reacting to people making noise or something. As soon as it ended birds started tweeting again the coyotes and dogs stopped, the chickens came back out and the cars on the streets started back up. Our own dog didn't seem to care :p and man did it get cold fast. Glad we bought some solar glasses for the occasion though
Really? We were in the 90-95% totality area so pretty darkish, and my chickens didnt even go into the enclosed area (they free range the backyard) literally was waiting for them to go to their coop or Atleast for the roosters to start crowing when the sun came back....nothing. They continued to walk around
I watched my dog throughout this experience. My 4-year rescue KNEW something was going on. She went to bed to take a nap and then when the sky darkened she raised her head and looked toward the darkened sky. She was calm but she also knew something was different.
Saw the 2017 eclipse on the Oregon coast in Lincoln City, the sea lion colony on Salishan beach went from their super noisy barking and belching to absolute silence and back to full raucous in 3 minutes.
My son drove us to eastern Missouri and there were several dogs in the area who seemed to be unaffected by the eclipse. Being in the path of totality was awesome and I did notice that the Corona was fuller than it was in 2017. I'm glad I got to see this one as I'll be 87 when the next one comes around.
I was out hiking in the woods. Trees remained standing, rocks didn't move, squirrels were chomping on pine cones, birds chirping, deer grazing. It's a new day, SOS.
@@thereoncewasalimerickwriter It doesn't mean anything, same ordeal different day. There's nothing new under the sun. People lost their minds over hype. PS Do=id antyone see the comet that was suppose to hit the sun? Not a word about it.
@@andreacalkins5189True lol, a lady stabbed her boyfriend to death and threw her baby and 9 year old child into a highway, killing the baby and later herself. Some people need to be locked off of any kind of social media.
My dog, a black lab, suddenly grew apprehensive. Usually if I am out in yard she is delighted but suddenly when totality hit she ran up onto covered porch and began scratching at the door begging to go inside. She would not leave porch, hesitantly peeking out occasionally. She remained glued to door till I let her in. Love Fort Worth Zoo. Went there for years raising my sons.
I'm in central N.C. When the eclipse had begun, I looked out my window and saw two squirrels in my backyard standing upright just looking toward the west (where the sun was). They stayed, standing upright, for a good two minutes. If was curious to me. It really made me think that they were sensing the decreasing sunlight. They just stood there on their hind legs, looking up. Of course, by the time I reached for my camera, they had disappeared. But, it was hilarious to see. Two squirrels enjoying the eclipse. 😊
Many news outlets covered the animal aspect of this eclipse... Problem is, most of the outlets only " talked" about what to expect, and/or DESCRIBED the animals' reactions during the eclipse, BUT almost all of their videos so far - and this video is no different - didn't SHOW videos OF the animals' reactions at ALL... ...They either showed the animals before/after totality - but not DURING totality... ...or they focused on the HUMANS INSTEAD of the animals during totality. This video didn't show one animal during the tiny 2 minute window of totality - it showed the humans watching the sky... ...but this video is SUPPOSED to be about how animals OTHER than humans, reacted.
My local zoo covered the eclipse, and they found that only the birds had any reaction; they started roosting, like they would before going to sleep. I think if the darkness lasted longer, there might have been other animal reactions. I was a bit disappointed.
I'm also in Indiana. I watched from a very rural area. There was no change in behavior here. We made sure to pay attention to before, during, and after.
@@BionicMilkaholic Maybe it was that I am in town and the birds were in the tree that was near ne? When I came back in my home, my parakeets were cuddled next to each other, asleep.
I noticed the birds were chirping louder after it was over like it was newly morning , but our household pets didn’t react. I live in clark county indiana. 😊
As someone who drove from Houston, Texas, to Temple and eventually Killeen, and then back to Houston, having passed like 57 ranches, I can confirm this is accurate for all cows in the path of totality.
For real and it’s not anything extraordinary. It’s just the moon crossing path with the sun since they move around. Yet we had humans howling others screaming and crying. Others cheering. Animals were probably like these ppl are too much. Then you have the superstitious kind. Putting up all kinds of things in the house. Others lightning candles and putting on oil and what not. It’s just a moon phase. Nothing more.
Our cat and dog did too. Perhaps they were a bit influenced by going in and out with the two of us to see it in real time and watching it on the tv for two hours. Scientific observation needs to account for variables. I honestly don’t think 4- minutes is going to affect most animal’s behavior that much.
@@zuzuspetals9281well, that’s what they wanted to know. And there is only one way to find that out. And the cost of that project was pretty cheap. It’s intellectual curiosity, just like what inspires a lot of animal research.
My cats hissed and my dogs howled. I put them on my lap and told them: everything's OK. Don't be scared.😊 The birdies were chirping and flying erratically
Animals actions before earthquakes are much more reliable and observable, they do feel the frequency changes and react. I had a cat that was very sensitive to tremors while living in CA, and a dog that alerted to a quake felt in NC just before I felt it.
We had a 95+/~% coverage of the eclipse in middle Tennessee. My neighbor has chickens-- their behavior was funny when it became darker outside than usual--they started putting themselves up for the day-but we noticed they were all going in the wrong cages. She has 3 different types of chickens, they are kept in 3 separate coops. It was cute to see them all head to incorrect coops. The different type chickens were sticking with the same coop mates, but they all switched coops. Animals are the best! And we love watching their behavior all the time.
It's so infrequent animals probably don't have a instinctive response. It may affect birds more that land animals because it suddenly gets dark while they are flying, the Flamingos marching is interesting, the rest wandering back to the spot they go when the sun goes down is also interesting but I guess animals in a Zoo would have a routine, especially if it deals with food. The Bipedal's migrated from north and south to get in the path of the shadow and look up.
@@fungdark8270 I looked up if Flamencos gather before a storm, thinking about the cooler air coming with the shadow, and they do, and.... a group of Flamenco's is called a Flamboyance!
Mine have been crazier than usual these past 2 days 🤷🏻♀️ I wasn't in the "totality" part, but it still got kinda dark here as if a big storm was coming (it was cloudy today)
Where I live almost all my neighbors have roosters and I always hear them around the clock all the time both day and night. They weren't loud or any different during the eclipse than usual. If anything they were probably more quiet.
@TLA-ml2lg Interesting. I live in town, and one of my neighbors has roosters--don't ask, I think it's weird too. Anyway, they only make noise at night--it's so annoying! During the eclipse, they were loud as can be. It was truly something.
On Seneca Lake, Ny, the loons were calling right before. The smaller birds in the trees on the shoreline were really chirping right before, very quiet during, and especially chirping after it was bright again.
The twilight that resulted as the eclipse reached maximum was so eerie -- unlike any sunset I've ever witnessed. And it got real quiet outside. Definitely a unique experience for me.
I have only experienced a partial solar eclipse in the late 90's, had a budgie back then and he climbed on his roost when it suddenly got darker. As for me, I instinctively began to blink. Seemed as if someone had dimmed the Sun a bit
I remember my science teacher telling us that b4 any natural disasters animals are the 1st one to response. It's very true in my observation. For that reason many keep dog & cats as pets. They're the 1st to respond to danger, especially b4 tsunami.
Animals/Birds are naturally genius and don't need any schooling. They sense changes in Mother nature much before humans and take all measures to seek safeguard. They have all senses highly active. Gratitude to mother nature ❤🙏
"So no wolves were howling , it wasn't nothing/something crazy like that ..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Soo crazy, Ive literally never heard of such a feat from a wolf !!! Imagine one howling ...Crazy I tell ya!
For the human species it's a time of wonder to see and experience the eclipse...for the animals it's more like "tea/naptime" and those giraffes were more like "Run to the Hills" and "We don't like this!".
Here in central Missouri, I saw my local flock of barn swallows come in to roost. It was pretty funny. But it does show how much sunlight has an impact on animals!
When it was starting my macaw was looking out both windows and was growling a ton. Then started screaming her head off. I owned this scarlet macaw named Bing 25 years she is very quiet so i was alarmed just watching her during the eclipse. 🐦 🌚😮
My lab and Akita went crazy playing run around right before, when it went dark they calmed down and looked around, when it got bright again you could see complete confusion on my Akitas face!!! ❤
Here in Diné Nation. Horses, sheep cows and birds were silent. I was feeding the birds and every bird was there in silence bowing heads. My family was not talking because we know this is a day of mourning. It's a day when The moon and The Sun will connect to the Earth in privacy and we show sympathy in silence. I was outside near Gallup NM it was chilly seeing the Mesa go from light to visual green n blue. Science is weird.
I missed most of this segment, my attention was turned to the strange loud and over exaggerated speach pattern of the news lady. Shes so cute, but the voice is a shocker, and strange grin after she talks is a little freakish. Drop that and tone it down a little and she'll be golden.
And this time I was at work but I noticed and so did my dad at home all the birds were on the grass instead of the trees and our dogs kept looking around the back yard like they was trying to find something but they couldn’t
Im in New Brunswick canada where eclipse was really good to see. I noticed a fly land on my window during eclipse😅 but i didnt have glasses so i faced north and looked out window and there were streaks of light streaking across the grass . Was so cool
I've been paying attention to that every eclipse whether overhead or far. This time it was far in the Caribbean. I note natural wildness. Always notably the birds, dogs, insects, crickets, every being generally a lot quieter. Conclusion: Every living being knows. Not at the superficial level you ponder to take notes but at a deeper spiritual level beyond "knowledge".
Why does this reporter sound like she's yelling? It's quite annoying when trying to focus on the subject at hand. Also, less yaking, more video of the event.
Was in Indiana. A small blackbird roosted next to me as the eclipse got close to totality. It repetitively looked at me and then up at the sun like “Are you seeing this!?!?” Thankfully it only did this for a few minutes. I was worried about its eyes.
The frogs and crickets came out during the eclipse and started singing but then when the eclipse was over they were confused like "Huh? What?!? Why??? The betrayal!" 😮😢
it's obvious what animals are going to do when it becomes dark, they will do what they do every time night comes...we don't need to take notes down and observe this🙄
Where I was it was overcast; 100% cloud coverage in every direction. But all the birds stated cawing like "Honey, GET YO ASS OVER HERE, NOW!" What was interesting was they started that evening group huddle behavior 10 minutes _before_ the sky got visibly darker. Total cloud coverage, it was already a gloomy dark day; but something about them UVs must've triggered their night response way before us humans could notice any darkening.
Birds were flying where I was at and one flew over my head onto a power line. I have a video of me comforting it. It was like the animals looked to humans for comfort. We were right about midline of totality. Then, a rooster crowed in town when the sun came back out. I've never heard this rooster lol 😂.
So.. during a heavy cloud overcast, Animals think its night and go to sleep?? Really??? If not, why would they do that for 4 minutes of lowered light levels …. Since, it NEVER even gets too dark during “totality”.. This is just ridiculous.
My birds acted strange the entire day, they kept their feathers puffed out and made almost no noise. I thought they were sick but the next day they were right back to normal.
My dogs mostly wanted to hang out with my dad and I in the front yard during the eclipse. They only barked when we heard the neighbors talking about how dark it had gotten!
Our family cats, those who were in the back yard, went into the taller grasses snuggling down within sight of each other for a long while. We had 90+% coverage.

And not one animal looked at it to burn their eyes.
save for the Humans!
smarter than some people 😅
You can look at it safely when it’s in totality. As soon as a bit of sun is exposed, you need the special glasses
😂😂😂😂
Animals can’t look up
My greyhound voluntarily got off his day bed and went to his night bed and to sleep. As the light returned I woke him up to go outside. He looked a little bewildered.
Awww 💕

Haha he thought it was bedtime how funny

I like how the crow is smart enough to do what you guys were doing and leave. The animals know what was truly going on.
Animals definitely know. They are intune with nature
All those animals were embarrassed when the lights came back on.
That's what really happened.
😅❤
😂
Very interesting. My cat got crazy and began harassing me. She was sure that it was night time and that I had forgotten her dinner.
Lol that is such a cat thing to do
major cat concern right there lol
I watched my dog throughout this experience. My 4-year rescue KNEW something was going on. She went to bed to take a nap and then when the sky darkened she raised her head and looked toward the darkened sky. She was calm but she also knew something was different.
Our dog got anxious just before the peak of 98% totality, but it was nothing extreme.
@@janicesullivan8942same, mine looked like a gargoyle the whole time. I wonder how they were feeling 🤔
My dog was anxious as well and once we went back inside after totality she went to bed.
my dog knew something was wrong I could see fear in her eyes. I put her inside the car sort of safeplace
If they were calm it’s because you were calm. Dogs often look for cues from their humans to see if they need to worry
My three cats didn't change their routines! CATS sleep like 12+ hours / day! 😂😂😂

she must have been scared
At least one of you were smart enough to not look at it.

It rained later that same day and THAT explains the behavior.

If something serious were happening animals would alert before humans because they are more connected to the rythms of the earth.
Why is she yelling constantly?
I've been paying attention to that every eclipse whether overhead or far. This time it was far in the Caribbean. I note natural wildness. Always notably the birds, dogs, insects, crickets, every being generally a lot quieter. Conclusion: Every living being knows. Not at the superficial level you ponder to take notes but at a deeper spiritual level beyond "knowledge".
Why does this reporter sound like she's yelling? It's quite annoying when trying to focus on the subject at hand.
Also, less yaking, more video of the event.
Was in Indiana. A small blackbird roosted next to me as the eclipse got close to totality. It repetitively looked at me and then up at the sun like “Are you seeing this!?!?”
Thankfully it only did this for a few minutes. I was worried about its eyes.
We live in a rural area…….chickens were raising cane and our cat headed for bed…….
this girl in yellow - WHY is she shouting so much , solar eclips?
Our dogs were outside and as it started getting really close to the full eclipse started running back and forth and had a worried look on their faces.
She is way too cheery.
The frogs and crickets came out during the eclipse and started singing but then when the eclipse was over they were confused like "Huh? What?!? Why??? The betrayal!" 😮😢
They’re using the word “impacted” like trendiness matters most. Affected is a more suitable word.
I was in the park and the Deer came out of no where looking confused 😮❤
it's obvious what animals are going to do when it becomes dark, they will do what they do every time night comes...we don't need to take notes down and observe this🙄
Where I was it was overcast; 100% cloud coverage in every direction. But all the birds stated cawing like "Honey, GET YO ASS OVER HERE, NOW!"
What was interesting was they started that evening group huddle behavior 10 minutes _before_ the sky got visibly darker. Total cloud coverage, it was already a gloomy dark day; but something about them UVs must've triggered their night response way before us humans could notice any darkening.
My cat's were nuts 🎉
Mine too..just the one
All of mine were. I'm down to two now. They've all been murdered.😢
Birds were flying where I was at and one flew over my head onto a power line. I have a video of me comforting it. It was like the animals looked to humans for comfort. We were right about midline of totality. Then, a rooster crowed in town when the sun came back out. I've never heard this rooster lol 😂.
So.. during a heavy cloud overcast, Animals think its night and go to sleep?? Really???
If not, why would they do that for 4 minutes of lowered light levels …. Since, it NEVER even gets too dark during “totality”..
This is just ridiculous.
My birds acted strange the entire day, they kept their feathers puffed out and made almost no noise. I thought they were sick but the next day they were right back to normal.
Those animals were saying, 'Was that the freakin' shortest day, or what?!?' 😄
Dr. John ____? from the Zoo.. I didn’t catch his last name?
Ty!!
And none of them burned their eyes out!! 🫥😂😂😂🤷♀️
*animals running normally*: normal thing
*animals running during eclipse*: Oh my god!! This is amazing!! Look at that!!
I remember an eclipse when I was a kid in the 70s in our chickens headed for The henhouse to go to bed.
Most animals: “what happened? Nighttime came so fast!”
Big cats: “huh? Well anyways, back to my nap”
Some cats where no happy because supper was late! Ahaha
So more mouth no footage? Genius.
My dogs mostly wanted to hang out with my dad and I in the front yard during the eclipse. They only barked when we heard the neighbors talking about how dark it had gotten!
Our family cats, those who were in the back yard, went into the taller grasses snuggling down within sight of each other for a long while. We had 90+% coverage.
The only animals that acted strange is the human beings staring at the other animals. 😂
Larry that guys makin me nervous which guy? that guy over there WITH THE EYES
you could of course do this every evening when that thing ..errmmm oh yes the Sun! when it goes down
OMG! You've got to be kidding me.
The animals looking at the humans thinking "What are these idiots doing now?"
Good grief, animals have been dealing with this and everything else long before humans came around to annoy them.
