Fine Art paper, small
Goliath bird eating spider
Despite its name, the goliath birdeater does not normally eat birds. Rather, it eats mostly invertebrates such as crickets, mealworms and moths, as well as small vertebrates such as frogs, mice and lizards.
The Goliath birdeater is one of the few tarantulas which can capture and eat a fullgrown mouse. While feeding, the spider will turn and leave a web barrier to prevent interruption from other animals.
The goliath birdeater is fairly harmless to humans, as are most species of tarantulas. Like all tarantulas, it has fangs large enough to break the skin of a human.
They do carry venom in their fangs and have been known to bite humans when threatened, but the venom is relatively harmless and its effects are comparable to those of a wasp's sting. Tarantulas generally bite humans only in selfdefense.
The goliath birdeater has poor eyesight and mainly relies on vibrations in the ground that they can sense from their burrows.

Easyart Giclée prints (all prints available from this page) are custom printed in the UK, using state-of-the-art digital printing machines and high-quality media and inks.
The Giclée process ensures a stunning reproduction of any image style, from photography to watercolour. Unlike normal printing, which is made up of loads of small dots, the Giclée printing process achieves almost continuous colour, due to the unique way the ink spreads on the paper.
Talking of inks, we use only pigment based ones. Some other suppliers use inferior dye based inks. These are cheaper, but do not have anywhere near the same resistance to fading. In normal lighting conditions, an Easyart Giclée print should remain lightfast for a minimum of 25 years.
