Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - How do animals behave at the time of the eclipse? A question that comes to the minds of many people. To answer this question, we had to return to the studies that monitored animal feces at the time of the eclipse during the past years, and here we are putting these results in your hands.

On Monday, August 21 of 2017, the West Coast in the United States witnessed the first total solar eclipse in nearly 100 years, specifically to the west of Oregon, and natural scientists focused on studying animal behavior at the time of the total eclipse of the sun .

The researchers noted that the birds completely stopped singing, as if the night had come, and squirrels withdrew to their hideouts, as night birds such as bats were active during the total eclipse of the sun

Researcher Klaus Reiter from the University of Munich for Applied Sciences studied the behavior of pets during a total eclipse in Germany in 1999 and Reiter said that the horses that he was observing when the sudden eclipse occurred were suffering from stress "and some wander in their pastures while other horses were calm but strokes Her heart was accelerating. "

The German researcher said, "The ducks became anxious and began searching for shelter and flew to the middle of their pond and gathered there, while other birds seemed to have come to sleep, as these birds became completely calm and stopped making any sound."
