Realistic Tarantula Plush Toy – Lifelike, Soft, and Perfect for Spider Lovers

Tarantula: The Hairy Giant of the Spider World

Tarantulas are large, often hairy spiders belonging to the family Theraphosidae, with over 1,100 species worldwide. Found in diverse habitats like rainforests, deserts, and grasslands, they are known for their striking appearances, ranging from cobalt blue to vibrant orange.

Despite their intimidating size, tarantulas are mostly harmless to humans, with venom comparable to a bee sting. Fun fact: some species, like the Goliath birdeater, can grow up to 12 inches in leg span and are known to prey on small mammals and birds. Plus, tarantulas use "urticating hairs" as a defense mechanism, flicking these barbed bristles to deter predators. A fascinating mix of beauty and survival tactics!
