Arboreal locomotion becomes the most likely failure. In this case, large-diameter branches pose a greater challenge since the animal cannot place its forelimbs closer to the center of the branch than its hindlimbs. Branches are not continuous, and any arboreal animal must be able to move between gaps in the branches, or even between trees. This can be accomplished by reaching across gaps, by leaping across them or gliding between them. Arboreal habitats often contain many obstructions, both in the form of branches emerging from the one being moved on and other branches impinging on the space the animal needs to move
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
