Some arboreal animals need to be able to move from tree to tree in order to find food and shelter. To be able to get from tree to tree, animals have evolved various adaptations. In some areas trees are close together and can be crossed by simple brachiation. In other areas, trees are not close together and animals need to have specific ...
Taller trees (40 feet or more) aren’t usually their first choice, but cougars will climb them when trying to escape a threat. In the video above, the arborist was at least 30 feet up a tree when ...
Groundhogs can climb trees to escape predators. Wild predators of adult groundhogs in most of eastern North America include coyotes , badgers , [ 63 ] bobcats , and foxes (largely red fox ).

No, it is illegal for individuals to own, trade or sell tigers and other dangerous wild animals in Ohio since Gov. John Kasich signed Senate Bill 310 in 2012, regulating the possession of ...
Coatis also are able to rotate their ankles beyond 180°, in common with raccoons and other procyonids (and others in the order Carnivora and rare cases among other mammals); they are therefore able to descend trees head first. (Other animals living in forests have acquired some or all of these properties through convergent evolution, including ...
The mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) [Note 1] is a North American rodent.It is the only living member of its genus, Aplodontia, and family, Aplodontiidae. [2] It should not be confused with true North American and Eurasian beavers, to which it is not closely related; [3] the mountain beaver is instead more closely related to squirrels, although its less-efficient renal system was thought to ...
