Does the eclipse wig out animals?

I'll let you know.

The particulars vary widely by species: During previous eclipses, observers have seen "songbirds go quiet, large farm animals lie down, crickets start to chirp and chickens begin to roost.In another strange incident, llamas were seen gathering together to watch an eclipse, which occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the Earth at exactly the right alignment to cause temporary darkness. The eclipse can also affect spiders, who have been known to begin dismantling their webs during the totality, a process that usually only occurs during night time. In fact, many animals react to the eclipse the same way they might react to the night—bats begin hunting, for example, and mosquitoes start biting.

animals are much smarter than humans. They will be fine.

Yes.

I heard that in Key West the roosters actually shut the frick up for a change.

I'm keeping both of my dogs inside just to be sure. I don't want them freaking out, staring at the sun, and going blind.



Also, I'll be at work, so they'll be in their kennels like usual. I'll check back in if they freak out and tear things up.
