The appearance of children moving in Tarantula can be checked from the following movie.


Montserrat and Tarantula are the volcanic islands located in the small Antilles of the Caribbean ·MontserratIt is a spider inhabiting the spider, the ecology detailed so far was enveloped in mystery, but it is thought that many ecology will be revealed by the successful breeding of tarantula in Chester Zoo.

This is a Montserrat and Tarantula baby put in a container like a test tube.


Walking on the ground.


As you approach, you can see that the whole body is covered with body hair even if it is small.


Dr. Garrard Garcia, curator of the zoo, said: "The ecology of Montserrat and Tarantula is rarely known and our achievements are very big, which took a lot of consideration and patience to realize. The data gathered with knowledge cultivated since the adult Tarantula came before succeeded breeding like this in the past.The small tarantulas born this time lightens the mystery of their life cycle and reproductive ecology We are hoping that we will give out to Monteserat · Tarantula the male life span is shorter than the female's life span and the timing to match them for breeding becomes important.Our zoological gardens this time We believe that the process can also be applied to other creatures that are in danger of extinction. "

A state of a male and a female of a living being combined. In some cases females will see males as predators rather than partners, so it is important that the timing of putting them in the case together becomes very important.


Furthermore, after succeeding reproductively without eating males, pregnant females dug a hole in the ground and literally "disappeared" seems to have disappeared. They did not appear on eating food and the tarantulas who disappeared disgusted the keepers. But at one point suddenly a spider's baby came out of the ground.


It was over 100 years ago that Montserrat and Tarantula were scientifically recognized. To MontserratLeptodactylus fallaxThe endangered species frogs are inhabited, and Montserrat and Tarantulas were mostly observed as frog predators. Although it is a huge frog, it is because scientists attracted the attention of predators of tarantulas growing to 15 to 20 cm.


In addition, Montserrat Tarantula says, "Although we jump too much to keep as a pet, we do not chew a human and it is not dangerous."
