Support, an important property for animals.--Arbnos (talk) 16:32, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the Wikipedia article on crepuscular animals, it gives several other possible terms (I added italics): "A crepuscular animal is one that is active primarily during the twilight period. This is distinguished from diurnal and nocturnal behavior, where an animal is active during the hours of daylight and of darkness, respectively. Some crepuscular animals may also be active by moonlight or during an overcast day. Matutinal animals are active only before sunrise, and vespertine only after sunset." Are these additional terms needed as possible valid values? UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 00:45, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- You tell us. Otherwise, I think we can just go ahead with this and consider adding them later when the need arises. @Lmalena: --- Jura 09:32, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think they can be added from the beginning. Diurnal/Crepuscular/Nocturnal, are the main classifications, but there is a lot of variation. Better cover most since the start. --Lmalena (talk) 11:24, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Lmalena: can you help complete the property, ensure it's being used? Thanks. --- Jura 10:57, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
