There was just this amazing opportunity where we were in 2017 to to see these animals are interesting animals and in this interesting phenomenon that was about to happen. And so we put together a study during that and I think I've basically became hook but more rigorous scientific study is newer one of the animals we watched was the Komodo dragon with your magnificent. They're the biggest lizard. They're amazing there a little bit scary, but they don't do anything like it in general a Komodo dragon sit still for all. List all hours of the day and absorbs the Sun and maybe it's digesting the Komodo dragon. We were watching before the 2017 Eclipse. It literally didn't move at all. We watched it all day Saturday. We watch it all day Sunday, then the eclipse was on Monday and just in those couple minutes during the eclipse it started running around and had a reaction some of the animals behaved as evening had to come so they went into their nighttime routine the Gorillaz they spend their day outside and then at night they're moved into like an indoor enclosure where they get their final food and then they go to sleep and in the middle of the day the whole group of guerrillas wandered over towards the the enclosure as if to be able to be let in at night call for citizen scientist to observe animals, even your own pets this time around we're going to look at some of the same types of animals. So we're going to look at a different group of gorillas and see if they behave the same way as pretty we're going to look at another group of giraffe. It sounds like a lot of what we know about animal behavior during eclipses is hard to believe and yes, most of it is based on one person's observations of potentially one animal, but the only way that we can confirm this stuff is to take every opportunity that we can to go out and and witness at ourselves. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6963975/what-time-to-see-solar-eclipse-us-states/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6963975/what-time-to-see-solar-eclipse-us-states/"},"headline":"What Time to See the Solar Eclipse Broken Down by State","datePublished":"2024-04-07T18:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-01-19T10:50:57.000Z","description":"Here are the times the solar eclipse will pass through the key U.S. states on Monday, April 8.","url":"https://time.com/6963975/what-time-to-see-solar-eclipse-us-states/","keywords":["Solar Eclipse 2024","News Desk","storyladder"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt40ad0f300171c67b/698a556409208f7b1a41d007/solar-eclipse-when-to-see.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mallory Moench","jobTitle":"Moench was a reporter for TIME, based in the London bureau.","url":"https://time.com/author/mallory-moench/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt40ad0f300171c67b/698a556409208f7b1a41d007/solar-eclipse-when-to-see.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"solar-eclipse-when-to-see","caption":"A student calibrates a telescope to follow the position of the sun during a practice session at Kemp High School in Kemp, Texas, on March 24, 2024.","creditText":"Shelby Tauber—The Washington Post/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/solar-eclipse-2024/","name":"Solar Eclipse 2024"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6963975/what-time-to-see-solar-eclipse-us-states/","name":"What Time to See the Solar Eclipse Broken Down by State"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How Do Animals React During a Total Solar Eclipse?","description":"When a total solar eclipse transforms day into night on April 8, researchers will be standing by to observe how animals’ routines at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas are disrupted.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/N4DmY49S/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-03-14T21:17:12.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/N4DmY49S.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/6963975/what-time-to-see-solar-eclipse-us-states/","duration":"PT2M23S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/6963975/what-time-to-see-solar-eclipse-us-states/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
