Arboreal: Adapted for living in trees.
Terrestrial: Lives on or in the ground.

I think we should add fossorial to the mix too.

Fossorial: Adapted for digging and living underground.

I'm declaring Abrahm's definitions as final:

Arboreal: Adapted for living in trees.
Terrestrial: Living on or in the ground.
Fossorial: Adapted for digging and living underground.
