Nocturnal animals are most active during the night and typically sleep during the day. They have adapted to have heightened senses in low light conditions, allowing them to hunt, forage, and communicate effectively during the night. These animals often have specialized adaptations such as keen night vision, acute hearing, and a strong sense of smell to navigate and survive in the dark. Examples of nocturnal animals include owls, bats, raccoons, and some species of rodents.

Nocturnal animals are active during the night and sleep during the day. They have adapted their sleeping patterns to be most active when it is dark outside. Nocturnal animals typically have a higher body temperature and metabolic rate during their active period at night, allowing them to hunt for food and perform other activities efficiently in the darkness.
