1. peripatus

   Peripatus, also known as velvet worms, refers to a genus of small, soft-bodied invertebrates that are found in the tropical regions of the world. They have a segmented body with numerous pairs of stubby legs and are known for their unique method of capturing prey by ejecting a sticky substance. They fall within the phylum Onychophora and are considered living fossils due to their similarity with early, prehistoric animals. The term "peripatus" is also used as a common name for various species within the Onychophora phylum.
