King baboon spider
The king baboon spider is a large tarantula from east Africa. It lives in shrublands and grasslands in Tanzania, Kenya and Zimbabwe, and it is one of the few tarantulas that makes a hissing sound to warn off threats.1

毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
Its venom is very strong, and its bites cause extreme pain.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。Bites are not known to be deadly to humans. The spider is highly defensive, so it is best left alone.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
When threatened, it rears up, may strike, and produces a hissing sound by rubbing the femurs of its first and second pairs of legs together.1
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠咬了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
