What is what does nocturnal mean?

Nocturnal refers to animals, birds, or other creatures, that are active during the night and sleep during the day. This means that they have adapted to life in low light conditions and have developed enhanced senses to navigate and find food during the night. Many nocturnal animals have specialized abilities such as excellent hearing, night vision, or the ability to fly silently, which aid them in their nightly activities. Some common examples of nocturnal animals include bats, owls, raccoons, and many species of rodents. Additionally, some plants are also considered nocturnal as they bloom or release their fragrance during nighttime, attracting pollinators such as moths and bats.
