Question

Some facts about nocturnal animals

Answer 1

1.Nocturnal animal species like sea turtles or seabirds visit breeding sites at night to reduce the risk of predation. This enables them to protect themselves, as well as their offspring, in the course of their parturition. Otherwise diurnal, nocturnal animals are also most active during the twilight hours.               2.Nocturnal animals have highly developed senses of hearing, sight and smell, which are specially adapted to compensate the absence of light. While some nocturnal animals have vision that is easily adapted to night and day illumination, bush babies and bats are able to remain active only at night. Many nocturnal animals have special eye cells called rods that enable them to capture the tinest ray of light when it is dark.
