Forest ServicesQ9. Consider the following fauna:
1. Lion-tailed Macaque 2. Malabar Civet 3. Sambar Deer
How many of the above are generally nocturnal or most active after sunset?
Detailed Solution
1. Lion-tailed Macaque: This primate species is diurnal, meaning it is active primarily during daylight hours. It is typically found in the upper canopy of tropical evergreen forests.
2. Malabar Civet: The Malabar Civet is a critically endangered species and is known to be nocturnal, meaning it is active mainly during the night. Its elusive nature makes it difficult to study.
3. Sambar Deer: Sambar deer are primarily crepuscular (most active during dawn and dusk) but can also be nocturnal, especially in areas with human disturbance or high predator activity.
Therefore, the Malabar Civet and Sambar Deer are generally nocturnal or most active after sunset, making two statements correct.
