Nocturnal animals are much more active at night than during the day. In fact they sleep during  the day, either in tree tops, tree trunks  or a burrow or den in the ground. Some of the nocturnal animals have become that way to avoid extreme daytime heat in the environment they live in.

As mentioned above nocturnal animals have special adaptations that allow them to survive in the dark. Most of them have eyes that are special in some way to give them excellent eye sight in the dark or at times of very low light. Some, like bats, use echolocation to "see" their way in the dark. Those that don't have specially adapted eyes usually have excellent hearing, assisted by longer ears. Some have both big ears and big eyes.
