Old world tarantulas, such as those found in Asia and Africa, are known for their beautiful colorations and are often sought after by hobbyists. These tarantulas can be defensive when they feel threatened, but they are not aggressive by nature. While a bite from an old world tarantula can be painful, there have been no recorded instances of a human dying from a tarantula bite. It is still generally best to avoid handling these tarantulas if you are not experienced and comfortable with doing so. #tarantulas #tarantula #spider #animals #wild #nature #wildlife #natgeo #arachnid #arachnophobia #wow
