Brazil's "Crab-Spider"
Being that we just celebrated Halloween, I thought it’d be a good time to introduce you to the Brazilian tarântula, known in Brazil as the caranguejeira (after caranguejo, or crab, due to its size and similarity). Out of 900 species of tarântulas on the planet, 300 of them are Brazilian. Of those 300 species come 11 families, 10 of which are native to the Amazon jungle.
