nocturnal hunters
Darkness-active prey-seekers
Nocturnal hunters are animals that hunt at night.
The term encompasses owls, bats, many cats, and other predators whose senses are adapted to darkness: Owls are among nature's most efficient nocturnal hunters.
The phrase sometimes describes humans who work or prowl after dark, whether literally hunting or pursuing other nighttime activities.
