Terrestrial animals are
animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g.,
cats,
ants,
snails), 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, or
crabs). Some terrestrial invertebrates include ants, flies, crickets, grasshoppers and snails.
