How many of the above are generally nocturnal or most active after sunset?
(a) Only one
(b) Only two
(c) All three
(d) None

The correct answer is (b) Only two.

  • Lion-tailed Macaques are diurnal animals, meaning they are most active during the day.
  • Malabar Civets are nocturnal animals, meaning they are most active at night.
