Scientists are curious about how animals act during a solar eclipse. They will study animals at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas on April 8th.

In 2017, researchers saw some interesting animal behaviors during an eclipse. For example, tortoises at a South Carolina zoo started breeding.

Other animals acted like it was nighttime, even though it was day. Scientists want to know if these behaviors are common during eclipses.

Researchers will also study wild animals, like birds and horses. They want to see if the eclipse affects their migration or daily routines.

Even pets might act differently during the eclipse. Dogs and cats often copy their owners' behavior, so they might be curious too.
