Terrestrial Animal. Arthropods (such as flies) are the most abundant terrestrial animals by species count.

Terrestrial Animal

Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g., cats, ants, emus), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g., fish, lobsters, octopuses), or amphibians, which rely on a combination of aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g., frogs). The term terrestrial is also frequently used for species that live primarily on the ground, in contrast to arboreal species, which live primarily in trees. Taxonomy[edit] Terrestrial invasion is theorized to be one of the most important events in the history of life.[1] Terrestrial lineages theoretically evolved in several animal phyla, among which vertebrates, arthropods, and mollusks are representatives of more successful groups of the epifaunal terrestrial life.[1] Land Masses.
