You might know where the wild things are, but have you ever stopped to wonder, “when the wild things are”?👑🐺   Animals are commonly described as having specific activity patterns, like being active during the day, at night, or only during dawn and dusk. But USGS scientist Brian Gerber wondered if that was really the case… After all, scientists call humans “diurnal” meaning we’re active during the day, but how many people identify as night owls versus early birds?   In a new study, Gerber and lead study author Kadambari Devarajan teamed up with over 200 other scientists to comb through the data on nearly 450 species of mammals to test if the traditional classifications held water.   What they found might literally rewrite the textbooks.
