The unfamiliar word that i found was nocturnal. Mark haddon wrote"Then I heard Toby waking up, because he is nocturnal, and I heard him rustling in his cage."(p120) From the context clues I can infer that this means the animal wakes up during night or at unusual sleeping scheduals because nocturnal mainly refers to animals.
