NOCTURNAL ANIMALS LAPBOOK

Nocturnal Animals Lapbook

AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER

We sometimes use affiliate links in our content. This won’t cost you anything,
but it helps us to keep the site running. Thanks for your support.

The sun dims. The moon brightens. Who’s asleep? And who’s awake? Owls, bats, and
racoons come to life at night with a host of other animals. Learn more about
them with this Nocturnal Animals Lapbook.




NOCTURNAL ANIMALS LESSON PLANS

Here are some sample lessons from the Nocturnal Animals Lapbook:

Nocturnal, Diurnal, and Crepuscular: Understanding the Difference
Different animals are awake at different parts of the day. Here are a few basic
distinctions:

 * Nocturnal: awake and active during the night; examples include raccoon,
   skunk, and red fox
 * Diurnal: awake and active at day; examples include chipmunk, butterflies
 * Crepuscular: active at dawn and dusk; examples include Kodiak Bear, snow
   leopard, mule deer

Advantages to the Nightlife
Can your student think of any reasons why animals would want to sleep through
the day and come out at night?

Here are three basic advantages to being a night owl.
1. Some animals would get too hot or dry out in the daytime. Night is cooler.
2. It’s easier to find a food source at night because there isn’t as much
competition.
3. It’s also easier to hide at night (from predators). Many nocturnal animals
are black or grey, and they are camouflaged at night.

Nocturnal Animals: Senses
Nocturnal animals must have special senses in order to find their way, hunt
their food, and flee predators.

Smell: Generally speaking, night animals have a better sense of smell than day
animals. Smells linger in the air for longer at night since the air is more
still. Animals use their nose to track the scents and find dinner.

Touch: Many animals use this sense to help them “see” in the night. While
fishing in the river, a raccoon is dependent on its sense of touch rather than
sight to reach in the water and find fish to eat. Whiskers also help animals
find their way. Whiskers are sensitive like a human’s fingertips; cats can stick
their whiskers out front to help them feel their way around in the dark.
