Tarantula

 Tarantulas are many different colors. They are hairy, different colors, bald, doesn’t have that much hair as others, Orange, red, yellow and all different kinds. Tarantulas have 8 legs. They have a big body and they are as big as a glue bottle. Their eyes are weak. Can’t see that good and their legs are strong.

     The Tarantula lives in the North side of Australia in the Rainforest. It lives in a small hole that looks like a snake hole. A snake hole is like 10 inches big. The Tarantula eats insect and other small animals. The Tarantula gets its food by seeing it and creeping towards it’s food.  It  catches it’s  food  with it's long  legs and spins it in the spiders web. They eat tiny piecies there prey. They start at the head down to the body. They only eat liquid food.

     The Trantula has it’s baby’s by  little tiny eggs. The mother finds there food and once the baby’s stay with there mother until 3 days, the mother tells them to go on by themselves.  My animale protecs itself by Fighting with it’s long legs. The Trantula bites the enemy and the enemy get’s poision inside.  I hope you enjoy my story about Trantulas.
