One of the largest spiders in the world, the goliath bird-eater is a type of tarantula. It grows to as large as a foot across in the forests of South America, where it inhabits burrows in marshy areas. Despite its name and its inch-long fangs, the bird-eater actually prefers crickets, moths, and small lizards.
