Decode bizarre stories that happen every time there is Eclipse and Moonlight

The sun or moon suddenly disappears, and animals start to act "strange".

For most animals in the world, every day of them takes place very much depending on the light-dark cycle of the Earth . They form a rhythm, a repetitive cycle every day, during which the cycle begins when the Sun rises and ends at sunset. Thanks to light, they know when to hunt, when to go to bed, when to migrate, and where to breed.

Not only the Sun, the Moon also has a lot of influence. Moon affects the Earth's magnetic field, bringing brightness to change every night, and affecting the behavior of animals. Many species can only reproduce when there is moonlight - like corals release tens of millions of eggs at the new moon.

Coral spawns when the moon is new.

But what if the Sun or Moon suddenly disappears - when the Eclipse and the Moon happen? How will animals be affected?

Eclipse - when the Sun disappears

Among astronomical phenomena, eclipse is the most influential thing to the natural world. In theory, when the sky is dark, animals suddenly get confused between day and night. The hustling day-life species is just like the night when it falls, while the nocturnal species will probably think they seem to be sleeping a little too much.

The actual reports also show many strange behaviors in animals when real Japan happens. Some spiders start to break down the nests - which they often do at the end of the day, but then continue to thread the thread.

Similarly, the fish and birds that live in the daytime immediately head to the place where they are used to resting at night. Bats, on the other hand, fly out of the cave as soon as the sky collapses.

The horse horse ran up to the dry land to rest, then turned again and again to the river when it lit up.

The hippopotamus in Zimbabwe also left the river when the real Japan happened, heading to the resting place. But when the Sun reappeared, they turned their heads horizontally, continuing to face the river.

The common point between them was that they were all bewildered, agitated by the sudden change of day and night scene.

What about the moon?

According to a 2010 study on the monkey monkey Azara - a nocturnal domesticated species, experts found they stopped looking for food when the moonlight became darker than usual. More precisely, they find it harder to find food, and feel stressed when traveling on trees.

The real moon is not the only interesting phenomenon happening to the Moon. Every year about 3 times the Earth is seen "supermoon" (supermoon: the phenomenon of the Moon near the Earth most), making the brightness from the Moon about 30% larger than the normal full moon.

Monkeys feel scared when they have a lunar eclipse.

Some recent studies show that super moon actually affects the behavior of some animals. Like heaven geese, their heart rate and body temperature increased dramatically, nearly reaching the threshold during the day. It seems that their bodies have been mistaken, thinking that the sky is about to be bright, so they are about to move.
