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

bun da savair

Fatgs

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

Destructur da mits

Mit: Baboon spiders spin webs to catch their prey.

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