Which biome contains mostly animals that are nocturnal?
Tundra...A
Desert...B
Grassland....C
Rainforest..>D
Solution
The answer is the second one (B): Desert.
Explanation for each option:
Tundra (A): The tundra biome is characterized by extremely cold temperatures and a short growing season. While some animals in the tundra may exhibit nocturnal behavior, it is not predominantly known for nocturnal animals.
Desert (B): The desert biome is known for its extreme temperatures, with very hot days and cooler nights. Many animals in the desert are nocturnal to avoid the intense heat of the day, making this biome predominantly nocturnal.
Grassland (C): Grasslands have a mix of diurnal and nocturnal animals, but they are not specifically known for having mostly nocturnal animals.
Rainforest (D): Rainforests have a diverse range of animals, including both diurnal and nocturnal species. However, they are not predominantly known for nocturnal animals.
Summary:
The desert biome contains mostly animals that are nocturnal, as they adapt to the extreme daytime heat by being active during the cooler nights.
