What is the difference between aerial vs arboreal animals?

Aerial animals are those that primarily live and move through the air, often possessing adaptations like wings for flight, such as birds and bats. Arboreal animals, on the other hand, primarily inhabit trees and are adapted for climbing and living in a treetop environment, like monkeys and tree frogs. While aerial animals focus on flight, arboreal animals emphasize climbing and navigating the vertical space of forests. Both groups have specialized adaptations suited to their respective habitats.
