Kansas Wetlands Education Center Educator Jean Aycock gave a presentation on nocturnal animals on Wednesday at the Great Bend Activity Center.The presentation covered different types of nocturnal animals that call the Cheyenne Bottoms their home and how they use their senses to hunt for food and find shelter during the day to keep safe from other predators.“Nocturnal animals are very unique critters,” Aycock said. “Once we get a better understanding about them and how they use the night to their advantage they really seem less creepy. These animals can be found all over the Cheyenne Bottoms.”According to Aycock, these animals come out at night to hunt for food because there is less competition.
