Are toucans nocturnal?

The tuatara is a small lizard-like reptile of New Zealand. Adult tuatara are nocturnal (though tending more to diurnal during cold conditions), but young tuatara tend to be diurnal, as this helps protect them from the adult tuatara which are likely to prey on the juveniles. Juveniles are also faster, enabling them to better escape from other predators.
