Description
This tarantula comes from Central America (Costa Rica and Honduras). In adulthood, its size varies from 10 to 15 cm and its longevity is approximately 5 years for males, and from 15 to 20 years for females.
Handling
Tarantulas have stinging hairs all over their abdomen. For this reason, it’s not possible to pet her. However, it’s possible to hold it in your hands, while leaving them close to the ground. This is a fragile species and the handling must be done in a quiet environment.
Did you know that there are more than a million known insects on earth!
Éducazoo holds a permit from the Government of Canada to keep and handle these specimens on the road.
Description
This arthropod comes from Vietnam. In adulthood, its size is 7 to 10 cm and its longevity is 12 to 15 months.
Handling
It’s not possible to pet the stick insect because it’s too delicate. However, it can be placed in your hands and move around. It’s a very interesting specie to observe, with its shape and color allowing it to effectively camouflage itself in trees.
A partnership with Environment Canada allows us to hold unique items seized at customs that come from poaching (ivory tusks, python skin, furs, sea turtle shells, etc.).
These pieces are used in some of our animations in order to sensitize the public to behave responsibly when consuming animal products. We also teach them the importance of wildlife conservation and the repercussions of poaching on animal populations.
