Nocturnal Animals
Know that some animals are nocturnal — active at night and sleeping during the day — and that nocturnal animals often have special features like big eyes (owls, tarsiers), large ears (bats, fennec foxes), or sensitive whiskers to help them find food in the dark
Typical age: 5–7 years
“If your child hears an owl hooting at bedtime, can they explain that owls are nocturnal — meaning they sleep during the day and come out at night — and that their big eyes help them see in the dark?”
