Gifkrag

Byte

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

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Bites are generally not a serious harm to humans, except in the case of an allergic reaction. Because the fangs are large, the puncture wound can be painful and can become infected if not treated properly.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When disturbed, it rises onto its hind legs, raises its front legs in a threatening pose, and kicks small, coarse urticating hairs from its abdomen towards the threat.1

As dit byt

Bite wounds should be treated properly to prevent secondary infection. Seek care if an allergic reaction occurs.1
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

Feite

Narrow-mouthed toads have been seen sharing the tarantula's burrow. The toads gain protection from snakes and eat small invertebrates there, but they ignore newly hatched spiderlings.1

This species is the main prey of the tarantula hawk wasp (Pepsis grossa) in areas where the two overlap.1

Males travel looking for females, usually in the fall, and have been recorded travelling as far as 1.7 km.1

Newly hatched spiderlings often stay with their mother for several days before they disperse to build their own burrows.1

Males usually live little more than a year after they mature.1
