A building company purchases a large plot of forest-like land with the intention of building a new residential neighborhood. This forest-like area is home to 2 types of squirrels: tree squirrels and ground squirrels. Tree squirrels have bushy tails, longer legs, sharp claws for climbing, and large ears.

Which squirrel population was better fit for the change of the environment
