"San Antonio Zoo Animals' Reactions to April 8 Solar Eclipse Caught on Video"

The San Antonio Zoo released video clips showing how animals reacted during the solar eclipse, with meerkats running through their habitat, whooping cranes "dancing," and flamingos clustering. The animals' activities, though not uncommon, were performed in a different context than usual, with the meerkats displaying evening activity patterns during totality. Zoos across the country were excited to study animals' behavior during the eclipse, as researchers have found that many animals display behaviors connected with an early dusk.
