Some factors influencing an animal's adaptation to a nocturnal lifestyle include temperature and predation. Firstly, in hot areas, animals may choose to come out at night to avoid strong heat from the sun during the day and to minimize water lost through sweating and evapouration (especially in dry climates). Secondly, animals may choose to come out at night in order to evade predators that hunt under daylight.

Also, in special cases, animals could be nocturnal because the food that they eat are most abundantly available at night.
