Animals like crazy go every solar eclipse
Moonlight eclipse is an amazing natural phenomenon. But when observing eclipses and eclipses, the scientists also discovered that many animals react strangely to this phenomenon.
For example, since the 1500s there have been records of birds singing, stopping flying and falling when eclipse is taking place.
Here are 7 animals that have the most bizarre reaction every time they " appear real".
1. Dogs, birds fear, cows do not react
In 1932, a 10-minute solar eclipse in the Northeast United States allowed scientists to observe animals here.
About 500 reports of their strange reactions were recorded. Prominent like the larger crickets, the bees come to the nest in very large numbers, such as chickens, pigeons that gather together into flocks in the cage .
When an eclipse occurred, the dog showed a frightened expression, hiding and hiding until this phenomenon ended.
Half of the dogs observed were quite scared. They often find shelter under the bed, under the cupboard and won't come out until this phenomenon ends.
While other animals appear to be quite "chaotic", it seems that cows do not pay much attention to solar eclipses.
They absolutely did not have any unusual changes, still eating happily and operating normally as if nothing had happened.
2. Bats are "crazy"
When eclipses occur, bats become much more "active".
We still know bats are located by sound waves, not by eyes like many other animals. However, there is something special in the eclipse that makes this species "dynamic".
Specifically, on March 13, 1979, during the lunar eclipse in India, scientists recorded bats as being "in flight".
The number of flights in the observation area recorded a 5-fold increase. Fruit gardens also recorded twice as many bats.
3. Monkey owl hide
When the lunar eclipse occurred, Argentinian owl often tried to hide and not act as much as usual.
Argentinian owl monkeys often go to feed on dawn, sunset, or when there is a moon. However, research into eclipses in 2003 and 2004 shows something strange.
By using locating necklaces, the scientists realized that the monkeys that were observed only tried to hide and not function as much as they normally did.
4. Zooplankton pull up to the water surface
The zooplankton - the main food of whales in the North Atlantic region - often pull up the water to feed in the evening. When the moon rises, they often return to their residence, at a depth of about 75 meters.
However, when the eclipse occurs, they will stay on the water for a very long time, sometimes up to more than 2 hours. This phenomenon also has similar effects on species such as shrimp larvae, clams, and oysters that change their normal feeding time.
5. Lemurs are "frozen"
On the full moon, lemurs will move further away from their shelter.
The special lemurs of Madagascar often find leaves and fruits at night. In the days of a full moon, they will move further away from their shelter.
However, when the lunar eclipse occurred, according to a report in 2001, this monkey ape will have a very strange reaction. They are almost completely motionless, standing still in place, sometimes up to 3 hours in a row.
6. Araneidae's spider destroys its spider web
Araneidae spiders work based on sunlight.
This spider usually drags silk to the dawn and pulls down into the sunset. However, on July 11, 1991, when the solar eclipse occurred in Mexico, they were completely "deceived by the moonlight" .
Specifically, they immediately destroyed their spider webs when the eclipse took place. About 10 minutes later, when the solar eclipse just ended, they continued their daily work.
It can be predicted that Araneidae spiders are based on sunlight, so they have a "cheeky" phen when the surroundings suddenly become so dark.
7. Chimp seeking to observe
Chimpanzees have a way to react to eclipses quite similar to us.
" Relatives " are closest to humans, chimpanzees, there is a way to react to eclipses quite similar to ours. They are fully aware of something unusual happening in the sky and immediately seek to observe very carefully.
The chimpanzees are the first to realize this, they will immediately climb to the highest place to observe the eclipse. Younger children often stand up straight and look up at the sky when the eclipse occurs about half the time.
When the eclipse ends, they return to their normal state, and continue with what they are doing as if nothing has happened.
