Nocturnal wildlife refers to animals that are active primarily during the night and rest during the day. This behavior helps them avoid predators, extreme daytime temperatures, or competition for resources. Many nocturnal animals, like owls, bats, and foxes, have adapted special senses such as excellent hearing or night vision to hunt, navigate, and survive in low light conditions. Their activity patterns are part of natural ecosystems, balancing prey and predator relationships, and contributing to the health of their environment. Understanding nocturnal wildlife reveals the diverse strategies animals use to thrive around the clock.
