Scientists are asking the public to be on the lookout and take notes of any strange behavior exhibited by their pets during the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, USA Today reported.
According to Andrew Farnsworth, a visiting scientist at Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology, "Animals simply don't know what to do with eclipses because [the sky phenomenons] are not something their biology is adapted for."
The eclipse's path will cover North America, affecting regions from Mexico to Canada.
In response to the anticipated event, a project named SolarEclipseSafari.org has been initiated, inviting citizens to document their observations of wild, farm, and domestic animals during the eclipse.
