A total solar eclipse is coming to North America on April 8.
/Gray News) - Next week’s solar eclipse will dash across the country, and you may want to keep an eye on animals when the eclipse hits your area.“They’ve done a lot of studies back in 2017 when we had an eclipse at some of the zoos in America, and some of the animals are affected by it,” said Steven Greene, director of Lubbock Animal Services.On April 8, when the moon passes between the sun and the earth causing the sunlight to dim, some animals may get confused.
“Some of them will go into their nighttime behaviors like they’re getting ready for bed,” Greene said.“Cats and dogs have gotten so accustomed to artificial light that, living in homes, they are not as affected as some of the wildlife,” Greene said.“You could see a little more of those nocturnal animals in your neighborhood. I would just say be extra vigilant and keep those animals in a safe area. If they’re cats or dogs, try to keep them in the house,” Greene said.
