According to zoo workers, the animals behaved completely differently. So, there was clearly a certain "lost".
Also, the changes were noticed by ordinary residents. When some Americans watched footage of the eclipse, they noted that fireflies had come from nowhere. In addition, the cries of some animals, such as cows, were heard. The insects have gone crazy too. So, dragonflies darted about without stopping, and crickets chirped incredibly loudly.
In Los Angeles, a swarm of bees attacked the office of one company, albeit after the eclipse. Most likely, they were unable to orient themselves in the conditions of sudden darkness, although bees are known to be able to see in the infrared spectrum.
Crocodiles were especially active at the Memphis Zoo. It should be noted that the eclipse was not observed there completely, but only by 93%. The giraffes, in turn, decided to hide in a shelter, and the bears practically did not move, as if they had turned into statues.
In the Jamaican nature reserves, where the Sun was closed only 72%, on the contrary, deathly silence reigned. Birds and animals in an instant stopped making any sounds.
