during the day, only becoming active as

the sun going down

is an alarm clock to

get up.Animals that wake up at night are called noctural.They have

special features for surival in the dark.Their night time lifestyle helps

them hide from predators and sneak up on prey.Manydesert animals

take advantage of the cooler temperatures and become active at night fall.
