Nocturnal animals usually hunt at night and it makes it hard to see so they use the asymmetrical hearing to hunt. They use these echoes to locate and identify the objects.

Well Nocturnal animals (which you already probably knew) only come out in the nighttime and sleep in the day.

They eat, sleep, poo and pee, and go around. So this question would be a very easy one to answer.


Are nocternal animals eye sight the only developed sense they have?

No, depending on what type of animal. Bats, for example, are nocturnal animals but they use echolocation, so it would count as the touch sense, and the smell sense. Other animals, and jungle cats, use scent and sight, mostly to hunt prey and get around. Of course they have the other senses, they just might not be as sharp or useful as their eye sight.

They could both be Omnivore. (Meat & Veg eater). Possums, Rats and many more are Nocturnal animals.

This is just my opinion so it isn't the 101% correct answer, But this is quite reasonable. Happy to help. CHEERS!
