| definition: |
A tarantula is a large spider with hairy legs that lives in very warm parts of North, Central, and South America. In the United States, they live mainly in the desert areas of the west. Tarantulas kill insects and small animals with venom that shoots into their prey when they bite.
Tarantulas look scary, but their bite cannot kill you.
