Many people fear and loathe spiders and find them revolting – scientists are not sure why. But if you do feel like this about spiders, the most horrible of all are probably tarantulas – the biggest, fattest, and hairiest spiders in the world. are they monsters? Tarantulas look terrifying, but they aren’t actually the most dangerous spiders. Most can give you an unpleasant bite, about as bad as a bee sting – but they are not killers. They can be quite disgusting,
though. They have sharp fangs that inject poison into their prey, and like some other creatures, they dribble digestive chemicals onto their food to liquefy it before sucking up the juice. They roll the dried-up leftovers into a tidy little ball. What nice manners! horriBly hairy A tarantula’s hairs help it sense other animals nearby by detecting vibrations from their movements. Many tarantulas also have special stinging hairs to repel predators. Some can actually flick these hairs right off their bodies at any animal that attacks them. These hairs can kill some small animals. They also give humans a nasty skin rash, and are dangerous if you breathe them
in or get them in your eyes.
