Two early signs of dehydration are thirst and dark-coloured urine. This is the body's way of trying to increase water intake and decrease water loss. Other symptoms may include: 1  dizziness or light-headedness. 2  headache. 3  tiredness. 4  dry mouth, lips and eyes. 5  passing small amounts of urine infrequently (less than three or four times a day).
Diurnality is a form of plant or animal behavior characterized by activity during the day, with a period of sleeping, or other inactivity, at night. The common adjective used for daytime activity is diurnal. The timing of activity by an animal depends on a variety of environmental factors such as the temperature, the ability to gather food by sight, the risk of predation, and the time of year.
Most frogs and toads are nocturnal, however there are some groups which are largely diurnal. These include the Dendrobatidae (poison-dart frogs) and Mantellas which are found in tropical forests of Central/South America and Madagascar, respectively. * The term diurnal refers to a tide which has a period or cycle of approximately one tidal day (about 25 hours). Diurnal tides usually have one high and one low tide each day. The tides at Karumba are a typical example of diurnal tides.
