Most human beings are awake during the day and sleep all night. Owls live the opposite

way. Owls are nocturnal. This means that they sleep all day and stay awake at night. Because

owls are nocturnal, this means they must eat at night. But finding food in the dark is difficult. To

help them, they have special eyes and ears.

Owls have very large eyes. These eyes absorb more light than normal. Since there is

little light during the night, it is helpful to be able to absorb more of it. This helps owls find food in

the dark.

Owls also have very good hearing. Even when owls are in the trees, they can hear small

animals moving in the grass below. This helps owls catch their prey even when it is very dark.

Like owls, mice are also nocturnal animals. Mice have an excellent sense of smell. This

helps them find food in the dark.

Being nocturnal helps mice to hide from the many different animals that want to eat them.

Most of the birds, snakes, and lizards that like to eat mice sleep at night—except, of course, owls!

The owl is a nocturnal animal. This means it is active at night. The owl's excellent sense of sight and sound enable it to find food in the dark.

Mice are nocturnal animals. This means they are active at night. Similar to the owl, mice use their excellent sense of smell to find food in the dark.

Both mice and owls are nocturnal. This means they are active at night. Because these animals are active at night, they must sleep during the day. This makes them especially vulnerable to attack from diurnal animals.
