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 only scale trees occasionally, while others are exclusively arboreal. These habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving through them, leading to a variety of anatomical, behavioral and ecological consequences as well as variations throughout different species. Furthermore, 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, see tree snail.
Arboreal habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving in them, which have been solved in diverse ways. These challenges include moving on narrow branches, moving up and down inclines, balancing, crossing gaps, and dealing with obstructions.

A master of arboreal locomotion, or brachiation; this White-Handed Gibbon was my favorite animal at the Honolulu Zoo.
Locomotion : Definition noun The ability of cells or organisms to move and propel itself from place to place. Supplement Locomotion in biology pertains to the various movements of organisms (single-celled or multicellular organisms) to propel themselves from one place to another. In multicellular animals, these movements include walking, running, jumping, crawling, climbing, swimming, flying, galloping, slithering, and so on. The movements may vary depending on the habitat of the animal. For instance, terrestrial animals are capable of terrestrial locomotion since they have special adaptations for it such as feet and strong limbs for running and walking. For limbless animals, such as snakes, they are capable of slithering over a surface. Animals with longer hind limbs enable them to j...
Brachiation (from "brachium", Latin for "arm"), or arm swinging, 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. We are designed to do this! Here is a simple & effective shoulder mobility drill, for 'clean' joints & healthy rotator cuffs.
The tree-kangaroos are marsupials of the genus Dendrolagus adapted for arboreal locomotion. They inhabit the tropical rainforests of New Guinea, far northeastern Queensland, and some of the islands in the region. Most tree-kangaroos are considered threatened due to hunting and habitat destruction. They are the only true arboreal macropods.

None of these videos are my property, i took them to make this compilation for purpose of having fun. Hope that any of these made you smile.
In this clip, an individual (not identified) climbs the eucalyptus tree at the edge of the maize field for arboreal scanning. An adult male and adult swelling female cross the tree, both in quadrupedal arboreal locomotion, followed by another adult male who crosses in suspension. Lastly, SA, a sub-adult swelling female arrives and stands at the border of the trench. Citation: Krief S, Cibot M, Bortolamiol S, Seguya A, Krief J-M, et al.

Brachiation (from "brachium", Latin for "arm"), or arm swinging, 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 form of locomotion is the primary means of locomotion for the small gibbons and siamangs of southeast Asia. Some New World monkeys such as spider monkeys and muriquis are semibrachiators and move through the trees with a combination of leaping and brachiation. - Wikipedia
The tree-kangaroos are a genus of Macropodidae marsupials of the genus Dendrolagus adapted for arboreal locomotion. They inhabit the tropical rainforests of New Guinea, far northeastern Queensland and some of the islands in the region. Most tree-kangaroos are considered threatened due to hunting and habitat destruction. The tree-kangaroo is the only true arboreal member of the kangaroo family. The evolutionary history of tree-kangaroos begins with a rainforest floor dwelling pademelon-like ancestor. This ancestor evolved from an arboreal possum-like ancestor as is suspected of all macropodid marsupials in Australia and New Guinea. During the late Eocene the Australian/New Guinean continent began a period of drying that caused a retreat in the area of rainforest. The retreat of the rainfor...

A CiN publication This video documentary was shot in Madagascar over a period of six years and includes footage of 28 chameleon species - more species than has appeared in any other nature film to date - representing all three genera present in Madagascar, from the largest to the smallest species in the world. Some of these chameleon species are so rare they have never been filmed before. All the behaviors are natural - you will see courting and mating rituals, prey capture, baby chameleons exploring their environment, and the unusual and sometimes comical locomotion of these colorful arboreal reptiles. The Chameleons of MADAGASCAR takes you to the four corners of Madagascar and into its diverse and spectacular landscapes.

TOPIC: CLASS MAMMALS 1. Mammology is the study of mammals. 2. Mammals originated from the reptiles in the Triassic period of Mesozoic era. 3. Mammals are the dominated animals of Coenozoic, era so this era is known as ‘age of mammals’. General Characters 4. Mammals are hair-clad, mostly terrestrial tetrapod vertebrates. 5. Hairs of mammals are made up of a-keratin. 6. Most important character of mammals is the presence of mammary glands (modified sweat glands). 7. Body is distinctly divisible into head, neck, trunk and tail. 8. Limbs two pairs, pentadactyl each with five or few digits. Limbs of mammals are adapted for walking, running, climbing, burrowing swimming or flying. 9. Hindlimbs arc absent in aquatic cetaceans and sirenians. 10. Exoskeleton consists of lifeless, horny, epid...
Sebastián es un estudiante de 16 años, que está próximo a terminar el colegio y le atrae mucho la investigación. Conoce a Luz Miryam Gómez y a Eduardo Amat, del grupo de investigación en Ciencias Forenses y Salud del Tecnológico de Antioquia, quienes lo invitan a conocer el estudio que adelantan sobre las denominadas "Moscas Detectives". Sebastián, de la mano de los investigadores, conoce el proceso de clasificación de las moscas y la forma de atraparlas para luego analizarlas en el laboratorio y sacar conclusiones de interés forense, como el tiempo y el lugar del deceso de un cadáver.
