Will The Upcoming Solar Eclipse Drive Animals to Totally Weird Behaviours?
Here's how you can help scientists gather data on this.
JASON BITTEL, THE WASHINGTON POST
8 AUG 2017
In 1994, Doug Duncan was standing on the Bolivian Altiplano with of group of fellow astronomers. The scientists had come to witness a total solar eclipse, and as such, most of their gazes were turned skyward as the totality approached.
That is, until a woman starting shouting, "Look down! Look down!"
"I can still hear her voice," said Duncan, the director of the Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado. "So, we look down and
llamas. Llamas all over the place."
They were surrounded by llamas - but not for long. After a few minutes, the moon's 70-mile-wide shadow passed on and light returned to the plateau, at which point the llamas formed a sort of procession and marched away.
