As the sun goes down in the thickwoods, a quite new world of life starts to appear. Most of the animals are nocturnal thus most active at night. Such animals are dependent on the special senses and behaviors that make them move in the dark effectively.
There are exceptional physical adaptations by nocturnal animals. The eyes of many species are larger or have reflective layers of the eyes which increase night vision. Others do not depend on vision as much but they depend on hearing, or smell to find prey and escape in the dark forest.
Foxes are the most famous nocturnal predators. They have a good hearing power and hence are able to sense little animals that move under leaves or soil. Foxes can make quick and accurate jumps and once the prey is found they are able to hunt animals that have not been noticed.
Another typical nocturnal predator is the owls. Their wings are silent and hence they are able to fly without noise and this gives them an advantage when they are hunting the rodents and small mammals. The eyesight of Owls is also superb since it enables them to notice the movement even in the darkness with extremely low light conditions.
Bats are also important in the ecosystems at night. Several species of bats feed on insects which lowers the number of pests that would otherwise harm plants and crops. There are also some bats that pollinate and spread seeds in forest sceneries.
A special set of sounds is produced in the night forest. The sound of insects chirping, the calls of animals in the distance and the rustling of the leaves make a kind of natural orchestra that shows the movement of creatures in the dark as they seek food or refuge.
Wildlife tourism at night involves patience and appreciation of the environment. Animals can be disturbed by bright light and loud sounds or human interference that can alter the usual patterns of their behavior. Responsible observation practice keeps the wildlife safe during the nights when researchers and nature lovers observe the ecosystems at night.
Knowledge of nocturnal life makes individuals value the diversity of forest life. Forests are never dormant even when man is asleep because they host numerous species that carry out the most important ecological functions in the maintenance of environmental balance and biodiversity on earth.
