The term for animals that primarily live in trees is "arboreal." Arboreal species are adapted to life in the trees and possess specific traits that enable them to thrive in this environment. Such adaptations can include strong limbs for climbing, prehensile tails for balance, and keen eyesight for spotting food or predators among the branches. Examples of arboreal animals include monkeys, tree frogs, sloths, and various bird species. Living among the trees provides these animals with numerous benefits, such as access to abundant food sources, protection from ground-based predators, and opportunities for nesting and raising young.
