Tarantula: Background & Facts

Tarantulas may look intimidating at first, but they are fascinating creatures. Mostly crepuscular or nocturnal, they hide in self-dug burrows. Instead of webs, they rely on strength and speed to subdue prey. Many species are specially protected by their hairs and use them for defense. Their body structure is exciting to explore — eight legs, fangs, and small eyes.
