Giant tarantulas, one of the largest spiders in the world, are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, such as South Africa, Australia and South America, they prefer to live in dense forest wilderness and use their strong chelas to catch their food.
This spider can be up to 30 cm long, including the legs and about 15 cm, they are usually gray or brown in color and have certain stripes. Their bodies are relatively thick and heavy, and well-developed muscles can be seen near the chela. Their chela are so powerful that they can easily break a calf and even bite humans, so people should keep their distance and vigilance when seeing this spider.
Giant tarantulas are carnivorous animals that feed mainly on insects and other arthropods. These spiders are usually nocturnal, hiding in tree holes, under rocks or in the grass during the day and coming out at night to feed. They have a strong sense of vision and smell and can keenly perceive their surroundings and the location of their prey.
It is also very interesting about the way this spider reproduces. Male giant tarantulas grow an organ called a "balloon" in the wrist, which is then used to collect sperm. They will hang the balloon around their wrists and use it to attract females. The female checks the sperm in the balloon for health by releasing chemicals, and then if they think the sperm "meets the criteria," the female allows the male to perform **** and raise the hatching eggs until the hatchlings hatch.
Although giant tarantulas have always been regarded as fearsome creatures, they are actually very important for the ecological environment and ecological balance, they prey on other insects in the forest, and play an important role in protecting the forest.
In short, giant tarantulas are very mysterious animals, and although they are very scary in appearance, they are also a very important part of nature from a certain point of view.
