They previously detected other strange animal behaviors in 2017 at a South Carolina zoo that was in the path of total darkness. “To our astonishment, most of the animals did surprising things,” said Adam Hartstone-Rose, a North Carolina State University researcher who led the observations published in the journal Animals. |
