The orange baboon tarantula is a large, nocturnal spider, so it is most active at night. It lives in parts of Africa, including Angola, central and southern Africa and the island of Zanzibar. Its bite is not known to be deadly, but it is very painful, so it should be left alone.1

Unlike some New World tarantulas, it has no urticating hairs to irritate the skin.1

4

It builds a tunnel-shaped web.1

5
