مستخلص: We investigated activity patterns of wildlife by using 28 camera traps from June 2021 to June 2022 in a forest in eastern Hokkaido, Japan. Sciurus vulgaris is generally known as a diurnal species. However, two photos recorded the night activity of this species in March 2022. One photo showed something resembling a pine cone in a squirrel’s mouth. Sciurus vulgaris might shift the timing of their activity patterns to avoid predators such as Vulpes vulpes and/or to forage food when scarce. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
