Answer:

What do sloths, koalas, flying snakes, geckos, tarsiers, and opossums all have in common? They form an interesting group of organisms that are adapted to tree-top living. Arboreal animals spend most of their time eating, sleeping, playing and raising their young in the trees.

Tree-top living has many challenges, and these critters have some very specialized adaptations that allow them to be successful tree-huggers.  The adaptations highlighted here will give you a fascinating way to introduce the study of how animals use their body parts in different ways to survive in their habitat. Studying tree-dwelling animals can also enhance your lessons on ecosystems, food webs, and biodiversity.

Forests are home to an amazing diversity of animals. Tree-dwelling animals are found mostly in the tree canopy and the layer of treetops that peek above the forest into the clouds, called the emergent layer. Geographically, arboreal animals are concentrated in tropical forests, but they are also found in all forest ecosystems throughout the world. Many different types of animals can be found living in the trees, including insects, arachnids, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Life in the trees presents some interesting challenges for animals, such as moving among the trees, taking care of offspring, gathering and storing food, and taking shelter in extreme weather. Many of these challenges are solved with physical adaptions that have resulted in very interesting and adorable critters. The adaptations of tree-dwelling organisms are an excellent example of one of the core themes in biology: form fits function. The specialized anatomy of organisms is perfectly engineered for the function it performs. The adaptations listed below have solved many of the problems with tree-top living, and these features are fascinating to study.
