Bears may be active either day or night. In wilderness areas far from people, they are often active during the day, generally considered crepuscular near people (active dawn and dusk) but bears very close to people are often nocturnal. Also, bears spend more time eating in the fall to fatten up for winter, called hyperphagia. During this time, they are active both night and day.

Prove that the Koalas of Australia are Bears?

Koalas are not bears, they are a tree dwelling, herbivorous, mostly nocturnal marsupial mammal and are indigenous to Australia. Their closest relative is the wombat. The incorrect notion that they are bears comes from the latin name given to them by the first Europeans who saw them, (Phascolarctos cinereus), the "us" implying they are bears "ursus".


Are grizzly bears nocturnal?

No. Grizzlies are diurnal. This means they sleep at night and hunt during the day. However it is not uncommon for them to be active during the night as well, especially on clear nights when the moon is out or when their bellies are telling them to be out scrounging for food during the night--late evening or early morning. So it can be said they may be nocturnal, though some argue otherwise.
