Tarantulas 16 Month 2009 Calendar. This Tarantulas Calendar is definitely not for the Squeamish! The name Tarantula is the common name for a group of hairy and often very large spiders belonging to the Theraphosidae family. There are around 900 different species which have been identified – although it is thought that the same number of species remains undiscovered or have been made extinct before being discovered. Tarantulas can hunt prey in both trees and on the ground and emit silk, whether they be arboreal or terrestrial species. The biggest tarantulas can kill animals as big as a large lizard or birds. Unlike their reputation - most tarantulas are harmless to humans! This calendar showcases some of these beautiful, colourful and exotic species and makes this calendar an ideal gift for anyone who may have one as a pet!
