"Zoo Animals Exhibit Nocturnal Behavior During Solar Eclipse"

During the total solar eclipse, zoo animals such as giraffes, gorillas, lions, macaws, and flamingos exhibited unusual behavior, with some animals showing signs of increased vigilance and curiosity. At the Fort Worth Zoo, several animals made their way toward their barn doors as the skies darkened, while at the Dallas Zoo, giraffes and zebras ran around and chimpanzees patrolled the outer edge of their habitat. No signs of increased anxiety or nervous behaviors were observed, and researchers noted that most animals returned to normal behavior almost immediately after totality.
