The term for animals that are active during the daytime is "diurnal." Diurnal animals are adapted to thrive in daylight, utilizing the sun for warmth and navigational purposes. This behavior is often associated with certain feeding patterns, as many of these animals rely on visual cues to find food and avoid predators. Common examples of diurnal animals include humans, birds like sparrows and eagles, and large mammals such as elephants and deer. Their activities are often synchronized with the daylight hours, impacting their reproduction, foraging, and social interactions.
