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

Dintlha

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: Baboon spiders spin webs to catch their prey.

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