Question

Animals like owls and badgers, which are active during the night, are said to be nocturnal. What are animals that are active during twilight called?

• A. Diurnal
• B. Crepuscular
• C. Matutinal
• D. Vespertine

Answer 1

The correct option is B Crepuscular

• Crepuscular is a term for animals that are active primarily at dawn and dusk. These animals sleep at night and lie low during the daytime.
• Some of the common ones include rabbits, deer, bears, skunks, bobcat, and possums.
• Predators have a harder time seeing at twilight and dawn because of the lighting. This gives crepuscular animals, such as rabbits, an advantage.
