Animals that are not active typically include those that are nocturnal, crepuscular, or exhibit low levels of activity due to their lifestyle or environmental adaptations. Examples include sloths, which are known for their slow movements and long hours of rest, and certain reptiles like snakes that may remain motionless for extended periods while hunting or basking. Additionally, deep-sea creatures often have low metabolic rates and are less active due to the extreme conditions of their habitats.
Well not all animals are always active. Some animals are active in the day and some are active at night. Why do you ask this?
Nocturnal animals are active at night, diurnal animals are active during the day, and crepuscular animals are active at dawn and dusk.
The term for animals that are active at dusk and dawn is crepuscular.
Animals that are active from dusk onwards are known as 'Nocturnal'. :)
Twilight animals are called crepuscular animals. These animals are most active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk, as opposed to being strictly nocturnal or diurnal. Examples include deer, rabbits, and certain species of birds.
