Animal locomotion many of these same principles may be applied to climbing without trees, such as on rock piles or mountains. The earliest known tetrapod with specializations that adapted it for climbing trees, was "Suminia", a synapsid of the late Permian, about 260 million years ago. Some invertebrate animals are exclusively arboreal in habitat, for example, the tree snail. "Brachiation" (from "brachium", Latin for "arm"), is a form of arboreal locomotion in which primates swing from tree limb to tree limb using only their arms. During brachiation, the body is alternately supported under each forelimb. This is the primary means of locomotion
Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard Anzueto's arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia anzuetoi ) is a species of lizards in the family Anguidae. The species is endemic to Volcán de Agua in Guatemala. The specific name, "anzuetoi" is in honor of Guatemalan naturalist Roderico Anzueto, who collected the holotype. The extent of occurrence of "A. anzuetoi" is approximately 24 km (9.3 mi), and thus the species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has many landmines, and surrounding coffee plantations have been abandoned. "A. anzuetoi" is found at elevations from on Volcán de
