ground dweller
Lives on land
A ground dweller is an animal that lives primarily on or in the ground rather than in trees, water, or air.
The term appears in wildlife discussions to distinguish species by habitat: Ground dwellers like rabbits and tortoises face different predators than tree-dwelling species.
Also ground-dweller.
