Are Bats Nocturnal, Diurnal, or Crepuscular?

Bats are nocturnal animals, meaning that they sleep during the day and are awake at night. Bats are most active during twilight. Since these winged creatures are active while it is dark out, they generally have a highly developed sense of smell and hearing to help them better adapt to the conditions.

Bats, being nocturnal creatures have a few benefits over creatures that are diurnal. The first benefit is that there is less competition for hunting, as there are fewer animal species out at this time. The second benefit is that due to the dark, they are protected by many predators. In addition, bats can camouflage themselves very well while hunting for food.
