In contrast to many other spiders, they do not spin a web, but lay in wait for their prey – especially frogs, mice and birds. People don't have to be afraid of them. Tarantulas may have a strong bite, but they are good-natured, and their venom is weaker than that of bees. FUN FACT: Tarantulas are fragile animals. Even a fall from a low height can be fatal to them. SCIENTIFIC FACTS Scientific name : Theraphosidae Conservation Status : Near threatened Primary habitat : Subtropical Forest
