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!
