Nighttime animals, also known as nocturnal animals, are creatures that are active during the night and rest during the day. These animals have adapted to their nighttime environment, often developing enhanced senses such as improved night vision and acute hearing. Common examples include owls, bats, and raccoons. Nocturnal animals play important roles in their ecosystems. They help control insect populations, disperse seeds, and pollinate plants. Their unique adaptations allow them to thrive in darkness, making them fascinating subjects of study in the animal kingdom.
