Hercules Baboon Spider

The Hercules Baboon Spider (Hysterocrates Hercules), a venomous tarantula that is located in a few nations on the African continent, notably Nigeria, is one of the most terrifying species in the Animalia kingdom. Due to the fact that the last specimen was discovered 100 years ago, it is thought that these tarantulas may be extinct. At the moment, this specimen is kept in London's Natural History Museum.

These enormous tarantulas can be found in savannah forests, dry scrublands, and grasslands. They often live in burrows. These spiders build a deep shelter in arid locations to shield themselves from the intense heat. Insects, bugs, and small spiders are the main prey of hysterocrates hercules spiders. The most common colorations of these spiders are either black or brown, and they have hair all over their bodies. They have long, baboon-like legs, spotted multicolored markings on their abdomen, and glowing bands on their carapace. To show their teeth, they typically extend their front legs to the side. They have a larger carapace than the majority of other African spider species, and their leg reach measures 8 inches.
