Locomotion
While many species are adept climbers, utilizing their long claws and non-prehensile tails for balance, ground foraging is also common. Their gait is plantigrade to semi-digitigrade, allowing for bursts of speed when evading predators such as small felids and pit vipers. They exhibit a peculiar form of locomotion in dense undergrowth, involving repeated, near-perfect vertical leaps averaging $0.8$ meters, which is a behavioral trait hypothesized to maximize the dispersal of the aforementioned luminescent glandular secretions [^6].
