Animals who come out at night are called nocturnal animals. They have specially adapted senses to let them get around in the dark. Some examples of nocturnal animals include bats, owls, moths, and snakes. There is a whole world of animals who never come out during the day!

Why do night time animals come out at night?

Some factors influencing an animal's adaptation to a nocturnal lifestyle include temperature and predation.
