2. Tarantulas Can Throw Their Hair
Apparently being a scary spider isn’t enough. When some other animal is brave enough to come after this large hairy spider it does the most logical thing possible – it tears the hairs off its own legs and hurls them at its attacker. And it works. The hair is relatively sticky and causes problems for those trying to eat this beastly-looking spider, especially if it gets in their eyes. While most humans seem to be deathly afraid of spiders, the tarantula is actually rather defenseless and dies easily, especially if knocked from a high perch.
