õisloomad

Öisloomad, also known as nocturnal animals, are creatures that are primarily active during the night. This behavioral pattern is an adaptation to their environment, allowing them to avoid daytime predators, exploit resources that are more abundant at night, or thrive in conditions that are too hot or dry during the day. Many öisloomad have evolved specialized senses to navigate and hunt in darkness. This often includes enhanced vision, allowing them to see better in low light, or a heightened sense of hearing and smell. Some species also use echolocation or bioluminescence to find their way or communicate. Examples of öisloomad are widespread across the animal kingdom and include mammals like bats and owls, many insects, amphibians, reptiles, and even some fish. Their activity patterns are synchronized with the natural cycle of light and darkness, with most returning to rest during the day in burrows, nests, or other sheltered locations. The term öisloomad is not a formal taxonomic classification but rather a description of a behavioral trait observed in diverse species.
