Theraphosidae
(Tarantulas)
Tarantulas comprise a group of large and often hairy spiders of the family Theraphosidae.
One of the distinguishing features of tarantulas is their fangs. Unlike true spiders, whose fangs face each other to create pincer-like motions, tarantula fangs point downwards. Additionally, tarantulas have two book lungs, while true spiders have only one. Their lifespan is also significantly longer than that of most spiders.
