Animal Behavior During Solar Eclipses

The video covers a solar eclipse event at the Toronto Zoo, where visitors and researchers observe animal behavior during the eclipse. Speculations include wolves howling and capybaras rolling. Previous studies noted unusual behaviors like tortoises mating and giraffes galloping. During the event, wolves were active but did not howl. Observations are collected for further analysis to understand if eclipses consistently affect animal behavior.
