OK, so probably most of you have not seen this animal before because it lives in the tropics. It's commonly called a "velvet worm" and is the only type of animal in the phylum Onychophora (which is somewhere between an annelid and an arthropod). It looks friendly, but watch as it attacks an unsuspecting beetle with its slime glands!
Another cool thing about onychophorans; they have hydraulic legs!
