Arboreal locomotion large perches in uncluttered environments. Many species of animals are arboreal, far too many to list individually. This list is of prominently or predominantly arboreal species and higher taxa. Arboreal locomotion Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees. In habitats in which trees are present, animals have evolved to move in them. Some animals may scale trees only occasionally, but others are exclusively arboreal. The habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving through them and lead to a variety of anatomical, behavioral and ecological consequences as well as variations throughout different species. Furthermore, many of these same
Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park reeds. A diversity of animals of the rodent group live in the park. The larger ones are coipo, coypu, "Myocastor coypus", a webbed-feet animal that inhabits reedy lake and river banks; and Wolffsohn's viscacha, "Lagidium wolffsohni", of the family Chinchillidae, whose preferred habitat is above the timber line. Among the smaller rodents, scientists have shown particular interest for Chilean climbing mouse, "Irenomys tarsalis", and for the long-clawed mole mouse, "Geoxus valdivianus". The park is home to two species of marsupial mammals. Monito del monte, "Dromiciops gliroides", has a semi-arboreal habit. It has been discussed why this South American marsupial appears
