Nocturnal animals are often some of the most interesting and mysterious kinds in the whole animal kingdom. Because human beings are in general, not nocturnal creatures (although some humans’ lifestyles could certainly be considered more nocturnal than others), these animals, and their natural born instincts intrigue us. To become more active at night, without the need for stimulants or reasons, or preference, just basic instincts, and biology is an intense way to live! Things are darker at night, more mysterious, a little scarier, and yet these creatures only truly come alive at night. They hunt, they kill, they mate, all underneath the night sky, with starlight and moonlight to keep them company.
