This is how the eclipse affected the animals: the sheep and chickens were paralyzed and the donkey suffered from tachycardia

Researchers tracked more than 30 animals using sensors to observe their behavioral and physiological responses during a sudden loss of light caused by an eclipse. The study documented distinct reactions among the observed livestock and farm animals.

According to the findings, sheep and chickens became paralyzed when the darkness set in, while a donkey suffered from tachycardia as a result of the phenomenon.
