Group A Traits Group B Traits
Individuals with group A traits build large nests high
up in large trees so that they are protected from
predators. They have big tails that help them balance
while climbing around trees. They tend to move
around during the daylight and have smaller eyes.
Individuals with group B traits can either build their
nests in trees or underground in burrows so that they
are protected from predators. Like individuals with
group A traits they have a large tail that helps with
balance, but also have sharp claws and larger eyes
that are good for living underground.
