yes I think so, because if they were bright colours they would be easier to see and it would be hard for them to hunt ect.
Elephants are not nocturnal because nocturnal animals only come out in the dark but elephants are usually awake the whole day and some of the night.
nocturnal animals
Surprisingly, there are many species of animals to be found in the desert. Most are nocturnal so are not obvious unless one is about after dark.
Humans cannot see in dark night but nocturnal animals can see.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know WHEN nocturnal animals are active. In response, they are active during the night, when it is dark outside.
It depends on what type of animal it is. If it is nocturnal it will love the dark. An example for a nocturnal animal is an owl. It sleeps during the day and hunts and stays up during the night. That is how nocturnal animals are described. But if you compare a cat with an owl in this situation, an owl likes the dark more than the cat. =)
Nocturnal means when an animal is awake during the night while the Diurnal animals (awake during the day) are asleep. Yes, nocturnal animals do see in the dark because of their special pupils. Hope I helped! (:
The water strider is usually dark coloured.
Animals are brightly coloured for different reasons: a. To blend in with their surroundings. (Some animals are dark coloured instead for the same purpose, though.) b. To attract a mate. (Usually the males are more brightly coloured, which is unfair.) c. To attract their prey.
The vibrissae or whiskers of a nocturnal animal don't need to adapt quickly. They work fine the way they are, helping nocturnal animals navigate and find food in the dark, so there is little need for them to adapt.
Rabbits have good night vision, but they are not as adept in the dark as some other nocturnal animals like owls or cats.
Nocturnal vision refers to the ability of certain animals, like owls and cats, to see in low light conditions or darkness. These animals have specialized adaptations in their eyes that allow them to see better in the dark compared to humans.
