	Nocturnal
		A nocturnal animal is one that sleeps during the day and is active at night - the opposite of the normal (diurnal) schedule.
		Nocturnal animals generally have highly developed senses of hearing and smell, and specially adapted eyesight[?].
		In zoos, nocturnal animals are usually kept in special night-illumination enclosures to reverse their normal sleep-wake cycle[?] and to keep them active during the hours when visitors will be attempting to see them.

		This beautiful, nocturnal relative of the raccoon is a lover of sleeping and of honey, much like a bear, though much smaller.
		The domesticated Kinkajou, therefore, must be kept in a warm environment, otherwise it will begin to shiver and may become ill. As a nocturnal animal, both in the wild and captivity, the Kinkajou must be given a place to sleep during the day that is away from direct sunlight.
