Answer:

Most animals hunt in darker conditions so when the moon is a full moon it will illuminate the ground. So then the predators can't easily sneak up on there prey. Smaller prey species increased their activity when cloud cover was higher, and predators increased their activity during the half and new moon phases. I hope this helps.

Answer:

Both predators and prey generally increased their activity in darker conditions. Smaller, prey species increased their activity when cloud cover was higher, and predators increased their activity during the half and new moon phases. This suggests their deadly game of hide and seek might intensify on darker nights.
