What is a nocturnal mammal?
Quick Answer
A nocturnal mammal is active mostly at night and rests during the day. This pattern helps many species avoid heat or predators.
The Full Story
Nocturnal mammals are adapted for night activity with traits such as large eyes, excellent hearing, or strong smell. Examples include bats, many rodents, opossums, and several small carnivores. Being active at night can reduce competition for food and lower exposure to daytime heat. In deserts and forests alike, nocturnality is a common survival strategy among mammals.
