In biological context, arboreal is a descriptive term used to associate with trees. For instance, a form of locomotion wherein organisms move about in trees is called an arboreal locomotion. Movements such as climbing, swinging, or gripping on trees are examples of arboreal locomotion and animals that are adapted for this kind of locomotion are called arboreal animals. Examples of arboreal animals are squirrels, koalas, primates, sloths, spider monkeys, leopards, chameleons, geckos, bats, tree frogs, snakes, birds, lizards, and tree snails. These animals spend most (some all) of their time among trees.
Orangutans are the largest arboreal animal on the planet. Most of their lives are spent in trees where orangutans travel from branch to branch by climbing, clambering, and brachiating. Diurnal animals, orangutans spend a large portion (60% by time at Tanjung Puting) of daylight hours foraging for food.ince over 90% of the food orangutans eat is found in the canopy, their arboreal existence is not surprising. Although mostly arboreal, males in Borneo occasionally travel on the ground to move between stands of trees. At Tanjung Puting adult males have traveled over two miles on the ground during the course of a day.
