Who's awake now? A nocturnal animals list by the clock

Right now, somewhere, a barn owl is waking up and a pigeon is heading to bed. This clock reads the time on your device and shows which animals are busy now: night animals, day animals and the ones that keep going around the clock.

Busy right now

A 24-hour clockNight from 8 pm to 5 am, dawn from 5 to 7 am, day from 7 am to 6 pm, dusk from 6 to 8 pm. The hand shows your time. MidnightNoon6 am6 pm

In the daytime, these animals are busy.

Animals that come out mostly at dawn and dusk are in our data too, but none of them has a common name yet. So at dawn and dusk the clock shows the round-the-clock animals.
