Wholesale Tarantula Figurine

Impressive and intriguing, the tarantula is one of the largest spiders in the world. Easily recognizable by its hairy body and long sturdy legs, it lives in warm, tropical regions, mainly in the Americas. Contrary to popular belief, the tarantula is not dangerous to humans: its bite is generally comparable to a wasp sting. It hunts at night, feeding on insects, small amphibians and sometimes rodents. A surprising fact: when it feels threatened, it can project tiny urticating hairs to defend itself. Some species are also capable of regenerating a lost leg through successive molts. This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the tarantula: hairy legs, rounded abdomen and threatening posture. An ideal model to complete a wild animal collection, invent thrilling stories or raise children’s awareness of the surprising diversity of the arachnid world.
