Tarantulas Take Hooking Up To The Next Level | Deep Look

- Every fall, male tarantulas leave home for good with one thing on their minds: sex. But before these spiders can make the ultimate connection, they have to survive the perils of the open road...which include their potential mates.

--
Every September, a generation of newly mature male tarantulas leave their underground homes to wander the landscape south of La Junta, Colorado, to look for mates. The lucky males will find females, who remain near their dens the whole lives, and possibly mate. But this so-called “migration” is a one‐way trip.
Among the many risks for these itinerant tarantulas, besides running out of time and becoming roadkill, are the local tarantula hawks. The two‐inch long, blue‐and‐gold wasps pounce on the unsuspecting arachnid travelers, hit them with a paralyzing sting, then drag them off to their lairs. Once there, the female wasp lays an egg on the spider that eventually hatches into a larva. The larva burrows inside him to feast and grow before emerging from his body, Alien‐like, as an adult.
If a male does survive long enough to find a den, he courts the female by first “knocking” at the entrance by tapping the ground with his front mouth parts, called pedipalps. He must rely on vibration to communicate his intentions, since tarantulas are mostly blind. If the larger and more dangerous female comes out to investigate, they face off at the den entrance. She may reply with drumming of her own to indicate that she’s receptive ‐‐ or she might try to eat him.
But he’s come prepared. When male tarantulas reach maturity, right before they set out on their quest, they develop a special set of clasps on their front legs called “tibial hooks.” Tibial hooks serve a single purpose: to fasten underneath the female’s fangs during courtship, allowing him to keep danger at arm’s length, so to speak.
--- Are tarantulas dangerous?
Though they do have venom, tarantulas don’t typically bite humans. If they do, the bite hurts no more than a papercut.
--- How long do tarantulas live?
The adult males of this species usually only live ten years, but females can live much longer, 30-40 years.

This spider’s romantic life is basically Dark Souls lol
It's the Dark Souls of life.
I don't get it
dragon zordi dark souls is a very difficult game. I haven’t played much of it, but that what the comment is referring to. I wouldn’t’ think have got it either had I not heard of the game
He's making a rather spoiler-y reference. But basically the journey through Dark Souls was hard and treacherous, and in the end, your reward is barely worth it.
But that's fine, because the journey was fun, and in it's own right, worth doing again. At least, for Dark Souls it was...
Udon I was more so referring to the theme of dying than the ending. Either way, the game is over a decade old, its a bit late to worry about spoilers *shrug*
Male Tarantula: Okay, let me just-
Female Tarantula: *No*
yea but she got got anyways so who really won?
They need to add some more role playing. Like the male tarantula was wearing a pizza delivery costume from dominoes. And the female was wearing just an apron. And the female can’t afford to tip the guy so the male tarantula gets a 1min quickie and after the minute he says “ I got more pizzas to deliver i can’t afford another job” but the female tarantula holds his leg and replies “stay with me “ but the male tarantula pulls his leg and runs off and shouts back “I’m sorry I have to work I need to pay off my student loans from the university of Phoenix.
Or something like that.
I felt like I was reading a teen fiction wattpad book. "He held her against her hooks..." like, come on!
tarantula: aw man sweet! i’m ready to get myself a girl!!

When the lady tarantula barged out, I had heart palpitations! Meanwhile the brave suitor tarantula had pedipalpitations.
Having a few (too many) tarantulas myself, that wasn't that fast ;D
Ha!
I am pretty sure they didn't show many of the footage. It takes possible hours for them to drum and get close to each other before starting mating.
@@ahmetkerem4769 but then again, isnt that the case for most natural documentaries.
well done!
The fact that the male simply to do a small adaptation can defeat the much larger female and than procced to fertilize, is simply amazing. Watching the underdog win is always joyfull
Tarantula female: no ones home
Tarantula male: I’m on my way
Wasp: No you not
