Birds. A full eclipse can make some birds believe it's bedtime. However, things instantly go back to normal as the eclipse passes. I've never, in all my life, seen such a long string of bullshit when it comes to an eclipse. I even saw one on FB yesterday to keep your pets inside as looking at the sun will hurt their eyes...... Ever caught your dog just standing outside and staring at the sun?? Stupidiest shit I've ever seen.
The ancient Chinese were accurately predicting both solar and lunar eclipses hundreds of years ago - an eclipse is no big deal, never has been.
They last an incredibly short time, and nothing is really happening.
I guess I'd understand insects perhaps, where lives are lived on such a small scale that the slightest change to sunlight could affect them.
I've never seen dogs or cats behave oddly though, and I have a sneaking suspicion that anything pointing to it is sheer bullshit that had an intended goal.
I look at it this way. We are from the animal kingdom; do we act strangely during an eclipse? Do we run around the yard and find a hiding spot? Do we howl at the moon during the eclipse out of an uncontrollable urge? Neither do the other animals. The only time animals did anything noticeable was during the birth of Jesus Christ when they lay down at the coming of the newborn King.
Actually, people are freaking out still. These people have still to come to the realization that solar eclipses happen all the time, that it is a function of circular movement.
The electromeganetic influence however, can have an influence on many things. Especially, when taking into consideration that the sun is the biggest influencer we known:

A dog is more interested in the grass, trees, and fire hydrants than the sun.
Probably like how animals react prior to an earthquake. Tho how often do the powers that be make a big deal about it?
How so?

It gets dark. Birds go it's dark now. I stop singing. Crickets go It's dark now. I start chirping.
edit: it's not the high level of weirdness that animals exhibit when an earthquake is incoming.
Flowers close too.

The size and eminence of that influence needs further scrutiny.
Yet, despite all the logic that has been brought forward, people lose their shit. So much for modern times.
Between two and five every year.
