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

Tge mangia el?

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

Forza dal tissi

Morsas

Il tissi vegn or tras ses dents da tissi u ses dents, cura ch'el morda.

Tge fa ses tissi?

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

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.

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

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

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

Lava la morsa e sfradenta ella. Tschertga agid medicinal, sche las dolurs èn fermas u sche la persuna na sa senta betg bain.

Fatgs

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

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

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

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

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

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

Destructur da mits
