The Cameroon red baboon spider is a large tarantula that digs burrows at ground level in the rainforests of Cameroon, in West Africa. It is one of the few spiders that can swim, and it can make a loud velcro-like rasping sound to warn off threats.1

Wat eet dit?

It is an opportunistic, nocturnal hunter that eats insects, other spiders and small animals such as mice, lizards, frogs, snakes and occasionally birds. It kills prey with venom, injects digestive juices, then sucks up the liquid. It will also dive to catch fish.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Colour ranges from dull black or grey to rusty orange-brown.1
Freshly moulted spiders are black, and they turn brown just before a moult.1
Hairy legs, with an oval abdomen up to 10 cm across.1
Leg span can reach 20 cm.1
Small, weak eyes that can only judge light levels.1

Word dikwels verwar met: Many hairy tarantulas from North and South America can shed urticating hairs, which are barbed and can cause severe itching. This species is an Old World tarantula and does not have these hairs on its abdomen.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The venom is not medically significant to people. It may cause some nausea, and a person who is abnormally sensitive may need medical attention.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

The venom is not considered medically significant. The spider will bite humans if provoked, but its main defence is to run away.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It rears up on its hind legs, smacks its front legs on the ground, and rubs leg pairs I and II together to make a sound like tearing velcro. It may also bite, but usually runs away.1

As dit byt

Was die byt en koel dit af. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is of die persoon sleg voel.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

It is one of the only spiders known to swim, and it will sometimes dive to catch fish.1

Most spiderlings kill each other for food, but some have been found sharing food with their siblings.1

Its fangs point downwards and work like pickaxes rather than pincers.1

During a moult it lies on its back, weak and dehydrated, and is very vulnerable to animals that would normally be its prey.1

After moulting it avoids eating for about a week so its new fangs can harden.1

It does not spin webs. It spins only a little silk, used for egg sacs and to line its burrows.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Baboon spiders spin webs to catch their prey.

Waarheid: They do not make webs. They hunt at night and take whatever prey they find.1
