The Galapagos turtles and the Total Eclipse of the Zoo --

The Akron Zoo hosted an event called Total Eclipse of the Zoo to learn how animals may or may not react during this historic event.

"In the past, the Galapagos tortoises began breeding during an eclipse and looking up at the sky," Basset said.

Today, the Galapagos tortoises at Akron Zoo did not breed, but educators said they were much more active than usual and looking in the sky right before totality.

Here is how the Akron Zoo animals reacted to the solar eclipse

The Akron Zoo hosted an event called Total Eclipse of the Zoo, inviting 2,500 people from all over the country to watch the solar eclipse.

These were taken from my cruise ship, off the coast of Mexico. Our captain positioned us in perfect position for 4 minutes and 28 seconds of totality. I went out early to make sure I could find a place to set up my tripod.

Thanks for sharing your photos! Love the "diamond ring" and the glowing corona.

TMZ has a less ad-ridden story. I'd post a link, but it includes a pixellated screenshot.
