  • Animals need a place to live as we do. Some live in the water and others in holes in the ground, but many animals live in trees.
  • We cannot live in trees because we do not have the special characteristics that are needed to move about in trees.
  • If we were to take away trees, we would leave many animals without homes.
  1. Many animals have claws that grip to the trees.
    • Squirrels build their nests high up on the treetops, or in the tree's canopy. They have small claws on their feet that help them hold on to tree trunks and branches, even upside-down!
    • sloths also have claws. Their claws let them hang on tight to the trees for a long time. This is important because they move very slowly and spend most of their lives hanging upside-down from branches.
    • iguanas spend much of their lives in the canopy, searching for food. They also have sharp claws that help them climb.
  2. Other animals have tails that can grab onto branches.
    • Monkeys have tails that they use as an extra hand when swinging and climbing through trees.
    • tree frogs spend most of their lives in trees and have tips on their toes that grip the surface of trees. These toes glue themselves to the tree. Their toes let them move around the tree without falling.
    • tariserhave friction pads on their toes that help them grab onto branches and tree trunks.
  3. Some animals have special toes that stick to the tree.
  4. Some animals glide through the trees.
    • Flying squirrels have flaps of skin that let them glide from branch to branch and from tree to tree.
    • Flying dragons are lizards that also have flaps of skin on both sides of their bodies to help them glide.
  5. Many animals have wings .
    • Most birds live in trees and use their wings to help them get to the branches and their nests.
    • Most insects and bugs have wings so they can fly to leaves and branches.
