Nocturnal animals

Note
Location World Subject General Species All Rhino Species

The rhinoceros is strictly nocturnal. Many of the herbivorous mammals are most active by night, at which time they often make long journeys for water; this is done to avoid overheating and loss of too much water from the body; and in many places, to avoid certain insects.
