One of the more bizarre eclipses I remember was in Nebraska----the animals went totally beserk. Not disimilar to what it is like when a tornado comes through---animal behavior is truly strange then.

When was that eclipse you referred to?

More often than not, unusual animal behavior precedes the occurrence of eclipses, earthquakes and violent weather changes (hurricanes etc.)

BUT no unusual animal behavior was observed, before or after, the much publicised solar eclipse of February 1978.
If I am not mistaken, in nthat eclipse, the moon's shadow fell directly over an area near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Severe flooding, however, occurred about 6 months later in that area. Some said this was expected as the eclipsing moon was in a watery sign. I haven't checked these claims.

Tecumseh, the Indian chief, (ca. early 1800s) capitalized on the occurrence of an eclipse (which he boldly predicted was coming) to rally his army of rebels and to convince his 'white' enemies that he had unusual powers. He had apparently first heard about the forthcoming eclipse from some learned folks in some big town. The eclipse occurred on time as predicted. But Tecumseh's army was defeated and he was believed to have been killed.
