Dallas Zoo ANIMALS React During Total Solar Eclipse

WATCH our animals react to the solar eclipse! 🌑☀️
It was mostly business as usual for our animals during yesterday's total solar eclipse. Some animals, including our gorillas and elephants, began their nighttime routines by heading indoors as darkness fell. Meanwhile, over at The Whooping Crane Center of Texas, our whooping cranes danced and made loud calls during totality.
Thank you to all who joined us yesterday to witness this historic solar eclipse.

The guy that clapped for the eclipse definitely claps when the plane lands.

15 seconds on animals, 1 minute 45 seconds on people looking up and the eclipse itself. I clicked to look at animals' reaction, and only saw the elephants and the stork for 3-4 seconds each. Thanks. Great.

There is nothing to show. Animals don’t care about solar eclipses they don’t even know that’s what happened. Stop thinking magically

[@DynamicOwl13]

Aside from the eclipse, I saw animals throughout the whole thng.

[@thelife9250]

Same opinion. Even they didn't show all

[@MrCedrichm]

Visit the zoo to see more. Beware, people are there also

[@dinomation]

The elephant we’re looking around to see where the light went!

[@GASTONCINA1]

Thanks for making this video. Had an awesome day witnessing the eclipse at the Dallas Zoo. :) Saw the lionesses get up and move before the eclipse, but I guess they just got up and moved to a different part of their habitat. The Lion might have had just a little bit of a confused look on his face.

Is there a way to get a copy of this video? We were there and it was such a memorable experience, it would be great to have a copy. Thank you for hosting this once in a lifetime event for our family!

I didn't feel this actually showed much of the animal reactions. Not to completion anyway. I was by the flamingo enclosure and then all zoomed into a small tight group. The ducks and Screamers rested in the grass. When the sun returned the flamingos spread out. The ducks started moving. The Screamers stretched there wings and "screamed" at each other in what looked like a morning gretting.

Here are the flamingos which were captured by NBC DFW's cameras! twitter.com/DallasZoo/status/1778163398531838254

@@DallasZooTube I’m glad I was next to the flamingos. That was a pretty cool sight. Did the giraffes galloped?

[@yuyucr6418]

Estuve ahí

[@laurie5804]

I imagine all of the animals were frightened???

[@AmeliaEarhart53756]

They were probably just confused.

[@kradarts]

Cool! Was the sky clear for eclipse?

[@DallasZooTube]

It cleared up just in time and made for a perfect day!
