咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

The venom is weak to humans. The bite is painful, and the fangs, which can be up to 2.5 cm long, can penetrate human skin. Some sites claim the bite is similar to a cat bite, but this is not confirmed.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

A bite is mechanically dangerous because of the fangs, but it is not medically significant. The tarantula bites only when provoked, and only as a last resort. Its urticating hairs can cause mild to severe skin irritation. Handling can also seriously injure or kill the tarantula, because a fall of more than a few inches can rupture its abdomen.1

它害怕时会做什么？

When threatened, it raises its legs and the front of its body to deter predators, flicks irritating urticating hairs from its abdomen, and only bites if the attack continues.1

如果它咬人

清洗咬伤处并冷敷。如果疼得厉害或感到不适，就去看医生。

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它咬了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

Males must hook back the female's fangs during mating, and slow males risk being eaten by the female.1

It is considered the fourth largest tarantula in the world, behind the three species in the genus Theraphosa.1

Before moulting, it lies on its back and forces itself out of its old skin, and it stops eating a few days beforehand.1

Males deposit sperm onto a webbed mat, called a sperm web, before finding a female.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： Brazilian salmon pink tarantulas are bird-eaters.

真相： There is very little evidence that they catch and eat birds. In the wild they mainly eat large insects and sometimes amphibians and small reptiles.1
