What is a Tarantula?
Tarantulas are large, hairy spiders that live in warm parts of the world, like deserts, forests, and grasslands. They use their strong legs and fangs to hunt insects, small lizards, and sometimes frogs. Even though they may look scary, most tarantulas are harmless to humans and are actually quite shy. These spiders can live for many years, with some females living over 15 years. Their bodies are covered in thick hair, which helps them feel vibrations around them. Tarantulas do not make webs to catch prey, but they do spin silk to line their burrows and protect their eggs. Instead of making loud sounds, they might rub their legs together to warn away danger. They play an important role in nature by keeping insect populations in balance.
