月光改變林中動物活動

 

在熱帶森林中,月光會影響一些哺乳動物的活動。一項研究透過野生動物相機發現,部分哺乳動物,如犰狳及無尾刺豚鼠,會避開在滿月並減少活動時間,因為額外的光線可能令更們很容易成為捕食者的目標。然而,一些哺乳動物,如白唇西猯,認為更多光線有助覓食,並且在滿月時變得更加活躍。

In tropical forest, moonlight influence some mammals behaviors. A study using automatic wildlife cameras discovered some mammals, like the armadillos and pacas, would avoid the full moon and reduce their activity levels, because the extra light could make them an easy target for predator. However, some mammals like the white-lipped peccary, decided the light makes it easier for feeding and become more active when it’s full moon.
