nocturnal behavior

Nocturnal behavior refers to activities and behaviors that occur primarily during the night. Many animals, like owls, bats, and some insects, are active after sunset and rest during the day. This behavior helps them avoid predators, hunt for food when it’s dark, or stay cool in hot environments. Nocturnal animals often have special adaptations, such as enhanced night vision or sensitive hearing, that aid them in navigating and functioning in low-light conditions. Overall, nocturnality is an evolutionary strategy that suits certain species’ lifestyles and environmental needs.
