Product Description

Peripatus Museum Specimen (Preserved Onychophora Specimen)

The Peripatus Museum Specimen is an authentic zoological display showcasing Peripatus—commonly known as the velvet worm—an evolutionary benchmark representing the Phylum Onychophora. Revered in evolutionary biology as a classic living fossil and phylogenetic connecting link between Phylum Annelida (segmented worms) and Phylum Arthropoda (jointed-legged animals), this wet specimen offers students, evolutionary biologists, and researchers a tangible, permanent physical reference. It serves as an indispensable teaching benchmark across university zoology departments, research collections, and higher secondary biology practical classrooms throughout Bangladesh.

Understanding transitional evolutionary morphology, unjointed lobopodia, tracheal respiration, and nephridial excretion can be difficult when relying solely on 2D textbook diagrams or digital slides. This museum jar specimen resolves that barrier by presenting a real, intact velvet worm suspended in a crystal-clear, leak-proof borosilicate glass container. The specimen clearly exhibits the elongated caterpillar-like body with its velvety papillated skin, paired sensory antennae, oral papillae (used for ejecting adhesive slime), and multiple pairs of unjointed, stubby walking legs (lobopodia) terminating in tiny curved claws. The archival-grade preservative fluid maintains structural tissue suppleness and prevents decomposition over decades of continuous institutional display.

Engineered for durability and safety, the display jar features a secure, leak-proof closure system that locks in the fluid. Each unit includes clear taxonomic labeling (Phylum: Onychophora, Genus: Peripatus) for instant identification during practical examinations. Victor Scientific Co. supplies high-grade biological specimens and museum display gear nationwide with secure packaging and reliable delivery across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.

✹ Key Features

Authentic Onychophoran Velvet Worm Specimen

Sourced and prepared as a genuine Peripatus sample representing primitive panarthropods for accurate comparative morphology studies.

Crucial Evolutionary Connecting Link

Exhibits both annelidan traits (segmentally arranged nephridia, soft cuticle) and arthropodan traits (tracheal system, claws, hemocoel).

Professional Archival Wet Preservation

Treated with specialized fixatives and suspended in clear preservative fluid to prevent tissue decay and maintain soft body structure.

Clear Borosilicate Display Jar

Housed in a thick-walled glass container that provides optical distortion-free viewing from all 360 degrees.

Distinct Lobopodia & Oral Papillae Detailing

Showcases paired sensory head antennae, unjointed stumpy legs (lobopodia), and characteristic walking posture.

Leak-Proof Seal Technology

Fitted with a secure closure cap that prevents fluid evaporation and vapor leakage during routine handling and storage.

Ready-for-Display Format

Supplied pre-mounted and labeled, making it instantly suitable for laboratory cabinets and museum shelves without extra preparation.

✹ Applications

- University undergraduate and postgraduate departments of Zoology and Evolutionary Biology

- Comparative invertebrate anatomy practical laboratories studying Panarthropoda and Onychophora

- Higher Secondary (HSC) and college biology laboratories demonstrating evolutionary connecting links

- Natural history museums, biodiversity education centers, and paleontology exhibition galleries

- Laboratory spot practical examinations and student viva-voce assessments

✹ Why Choose Peripatus Museum Specimen?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1

What is the price of the Peripatus Museum Specimen in Bangladesh?

A1

The price of a Peripatus Museum Specimen in Bangladesh typically ranges between BDT 2,500 and BDT 5,500, reflecting the rarity of genuine Onychophora specimens and specialized museum preservation. Contact Victor Scientific Co. directly for exact institutional quotes and availability.

Q2

Why is Peripatus considered an important connecting link in zoology?

A2

Peripatus bridges Annelida and Arthropoda by possessing characteristics of both phyla, such as segmentally arranged nephridia and a soft unjointed cuticle (like annelids) alongside chitinous claws, hemocoel, and a tracheal respiratory system (like arthropods).

Q3

What preservative fluid is used inside the museum jar?

A3

The velvet worm is stored in a safe, stabilized archival fluid solution (such as low-concentration formalin or alcohol-based preservative) designed to protect soft invertebrate tissues and prevent evaporation.

Q4

Can the specimen be removed from the jar for closer microscopic study?

A4

For permanent preservation and safety, it is recommended to keep the jar sealed. The transparent glass provides complete visual access to exterior features without requiring physical removal.

Q5

Does Victor Scientific Co. deliver glass museum specimens safely across Bangladesh?

A5

Yes, Victor Scientific Co. packages all fluid-filled glassware in bubble wrap, cushioning, and heavy protective cartons to ensure safe delivery to all 64 districts in Bangladesh—including Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet—within 24 to 48 hours.
