The land_______________________________. Physically, Masbate lies exactly in the center of the Philippine archipelago north of the Visayas region. The main island looks like an arrowhead with its tip pointing north. Its southern portion encloses the Asid Gulf, while the Jintotolo Channel separates it from Panay Island. The Masbate Pass separates the two islands of Burias and Ticao from the main island of Masbate.
velÂ·vet. n. 1. A soft fabric having a smooth, dense pile and a plain underside. 2. a. Something suggesting the smooth surface of velvet.
The velvet worm doesn't have retractable fangs, isn't the size of a deadly snake and doesn't hide in the sand. It's just a small, slow, soft-skinned hunk of meat that hangs out in trees. In fact, even though it has little stubby legs, it has no joints and can't move much faster than a snail. But it's also a predator.
