Sometimes. Some species of birds and animals have been observed to return to their nests as if it were nightfall when a total solar eclipse occurs.
The moon comes near the sun and they from a solar ecliopses

Eclipses have no impact on biology. Not in the SLIGHTEST bit.
The light is blocked, and the part covered is temporarily darkened.
Solar eclipses are more common than lunar eclipses.
'C' (the missing one) is the correct choice.
Solar and lunar eclipses
Solar eclipses are caused by the shadow of the Moon hitting the Earth. Solar eclipses happen on the Earth.
There are generally two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes you will see two partial eclipses instead of one total eclipse; in 2011, there will be four partial solar eclipses, and no total or annular solar eclipses. Since lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, they are visible from the entire night half of the Earth. Solar eclipses, when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, affect very small areas of the Earth, and so they seem to be more rare. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from any point in North America.
All eclipses are shadows. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth. A lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
Five is the theoretical maximum number of solar eclipses in one calendar year; generally 4 partial eclipses and one total or annular eclipse. This configuration happens about every 200 years or so. Interestingly, there will be four solar eclipses in 2011; all will be partial eclipses, visible (if at all) only from polar regions. The last time there were five solar eclipses in a year was in 1935; the next time will be in 2206.
