What Causes a ‘Rustle’ in the Leaves at Night?

Sometimes, the trees whisper at night. Imagine you're sleeping under a big tree, and suddenly there's a rustle, like something is moving in the leaves. It might be an animal hiding from the moonlight or just playing around in the dark. At night, many animals come out to search for food or friends. These little movements can make the leaves shake and rustle.
