Strange animal behaviors have been observed at the Fort Worth Zoo during totality, according to researchers stationed in Texas.
One of the most bizarre animal observations reported during the 2017 total solar eclipse was of giraffes at other facilities gathering in a herd and beginning to gallop.
The giraffes did not gallop this year at the Fort Worth Zoo, but they did huddle together and attempt to enter their nighttime enclosures.
The most “dramatic reaction” at Fort Worth Zoo came from the primates.
“Right at totality, all of the (gorillas) got up from all quarters of the exhibit and walked directly to where they're supposed to be let in (at night),” Hartstone-Rose told CNN.
