Aboreal means: lives in trees off, off the ground.
Terrestrial means: Ground living, sometimes borrows underground.
Hope thats some help!

Arboreal T's tend to have long, curly hairs whilst terrestrial T's have short, bristly ones...

arboreal and terrestrial are pretty much self explanatory arboreal = above ground terrestrial = generally underground
there also scrubland which is above ground but under shrubs, bushes, rocks crevices etc.
