TARANTULA
Ocho is a Chilean Rose Haired Tarantula from South America!
Ocho is a ground dwelling spider so he doesn't form webs in the
trees. He is quite large so if he were to fall more than a
couple of feet, he would surely die. He's very calm and we can
hold him however we do not allow the children to touch him.
Tarantulas have urticating hairs that can be very irritating so some
people's skin. Ocho loves to eat crickets! He has 8 legs
and 2 feelers called pedipalps. He's quite an impressive
spider! Spiders are also called arachnids! Spiders are
very important to our ecosystem. They have a great purpose on
this earth.... to eat as many of those pesky insects as
possible!
