Difference between Animal and Onychophora

Animal vs. Onychophora

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. Onychophora (from Ancient Greek, onyches, "claws"; and pherein, "to carry"), commonly known as velvet worms (due to their velvety texture and somewhat wormlike appearance) or more ambiguously as peripatus (after the first described genus, Peripatus), is a phylum of elongate, soft-bodied, many-legged panarthropods.
