In the evening, as diurnal creatures, we tend to wind down our activities, while for nocturnal animals, it’s a time of bustling activity—the moment to spring into action.

After an introduction to the mechanisms behind the onset of night and a stroll under a starry sky, we invite you to meet animals with keen eyesight, sharp hearing, or a highly developed sense of smell, and to encounter masters of camouflage and stalking.
