Peripatus walking, close up. The Peripatus is a nocturnal carnivorous invertebrate found mostly in humid southern hemisphere environments, such as rainforests. It resembles a caterpillar, but is not closely related to insects or other arthropods. It feeds on small insects and other invertebrates, immobilising them with sticky mucus before feeding on them. It lives in small social groups, and gives birth to live young. Filmed at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, in the Ecuadorian Amazon. | |
