2. **Malabar Civet:** This species is known to be strictly nocturnal, active mainly during the night.
3. **Sambar Deer:** While they can be active during the day, Sambar deer are often crepuscular (most active during dawn and dusk) and their activity often extends into the night, especially in areas with human disturbance. Thus, they are frequently most active after sunset.
