The Goliath birdeater is a huge tarantula and the largest spider in the world by mass and body length. It lives in the rainforests of northern South America, including the Amazon. Although it can look frightening, its venom is mild and it rarely bites people.1

It eats other large arthropods, worms and amphibians, and will also kill insects and small land vertebrates. It drags prey back to its burrow, where it liquefies the insides and sucks them dry. It has been seen feeding on rodents, frogs, toads, lizards and even snakes.1

Ko honɗun tooke mum waɗata (ŋatgol walla jukkugol)?

Like all tarantulas, it has fangs and venom, but its venom is relatively harmless. Its effects are comparable to those of a wasp sting. Some bites are 'dry bites', meaning no venom is injected.1

Hono musiiba mum heewiri e yimɓe?

Musiiba e yimɓe: MuusɗoNo waawi muusugol sanne, kono ko ɓadii kala tuma ɗum wonataa musiiba mawɗo.

Tarantulas generally bite people only in self-defence. Its venom is comparable to a wasp sting. Its urticating hairs, which it releases when threatened, are a severe irritant to skin and mucous membranes.1

Ko honɗun ngal waɗata si ngal hulii?

When threatened, it rubs its setae together to make a hissing sound, and rubs its abdomen with its hind legs to release irritating hairs.1

Humpito

1

It is the largest spider in the world by mass and body length, and is second only to the giant huntsman spider by leg span.1

2

Its fangs measure 2 to 4 cm, large enough to break human skin.1

3

It is an edible spider. In northeastern South America, the hairs are singed off, and the spider is roasted in banana leaves.1

4

Its flavour has been described as 'shrimp-like'.1

5

Its body length is far greater than that of Mongolarachne, the largest known prehistoric spider, which measured 2.46 cm.1

6

Females rarely eat males during mating, unlike some other spider species.1

Bonnoowo fenaandeeji

Fenaande: The Goliath birdeater eats lots of birds.

Goonga: Despite its name, it rarely preys on birds. Its diet is mostly other large arthropods, worms and amphibians.1
