Snapping twigs and rustling bushes in the pitch black usually mean a raccoon or skunk is busy foraging nearby. Scanning the shadows for these hidden creatures makes tracking down a bat or coyote on the page quite fun.

Frequently asked questions

Are fireflies actually considered nocturnal?

Yes, they are most active after dusk and use their flashing abdomens to communicate in the dark.

Why is opossum spelled with an O at the beginning?

The name comes from an Algonquian term, and while people often just say possum in conversation, the standard spelling for the North American animal includes the O.
