Two fangs extend down beside the mouth. They have claws on each leg. Their cephothorax is protected with a hard shell. They can jump only a few inches. They have sticky hairs on each leg which help them climb almost anywhere.
Tarantulas have tails.
They make their home in the ground and the trees. They line their burrow with silk. They can die molting, with the molting getting caught on their legs. After molting, they can not move because their skin is fragile. If the spider moves or an animal attacks, skin will crack and the spider will bleed to death.
