Velvet Worm Soft Stuffed Plush Toy

LIVING THREAD OF THE ANCIENT EARTH

❃ Velvet worms—members of the phylum Onychophora—are some of the strangest and most fascinating creatures on the planet. Looking like a cross between a worm and a caterpillar, these soft-bodied, velvety invertebrates have remained relatively unchanged for over 500 million years, tracing their lineage back to the Cambrian explosion.

❃ Despite their soft and fuzzy appearance, velvet worms are skilled hunters. They capture prey by shooting sticky jets of slime from glands near their heads, immobilizing insects before moving in to devour them. Found in moist forests across the tropics and southern hemisphere, they prefer hiding in logs, leaf litter, and crevices during the day, emerging to hunt under the cover of darkness.

❃ As one of the last surviving links between marine and terrestrial invertebrates, velvet worms are living relics of evolutionary history. Their bizarre appearance, gentle gait, and sticky hunting tactics make them a true icon of the weird and wonderful world of invertebrates.
