Nighttime ecosystems are environments that come alive after the sun sets. Many animals, such as owls, bats, and fireflies, are nocturnal, meaning they are active during the night. These creatures have adapted to low light conditions, using enhanced senses like hearing and smell to navigate and find food. Plants also play a role in nighttime ecosystems. Some, like moonflowers and night-blooming jasmine, release their fragrances at night to attract pollinators such as moths. The interactions between nocturnal animals and night-blooming plants create a unique ecosystem that thrives in darkness.
