Nocturnality

Nocturnality is a behavior in some non-human animals characterized by being active during the night and sleeping during the day.

See Anolis gundlachi and Nocturnality

Oviparity

Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.
