Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

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

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Akiuma

Osha jeraha na ulipoze. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu kama maumivu ni makali au mtu anajisikia vibaya.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

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

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: The Goliath birdeater eats lots of birds.

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