A nighttime ecosystem refers to the complex interactions and relationships among living organisms that are active during the night. This includes various species of nocturnal animals such as owls, bats, and raccoons, which have adapted to thrive in low-light conditions. These creatures often rely on heightened senses, like acute hearing and night vision, to hunt for food and navigate their environment. In addition to animals, nighttime ecosystems also include plants that bloom or release scents at night to attract pollinators like moths. The cooler temperatures and reduced competition from daytime species create a unique habitat where different organisms can coexist and fulfill their roles in the food web.
