What Causes the ‘Rustle’ of a Forest at Night?

At night, the forest comes alive with tiny creatures that move around and make noise. You might hear leaves rustling because animals like mice or rabbits are running through them. Some animals, like owls or foxes, also move quietly in the dark, and their footsteps can sound like a whispering wind. All of these little movements together create the soft rustle you hear.
