00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,639
today we are going to talk about the

2
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:05,000
anatomy of a tarantula

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,360
[Music]

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,200
welcome to tarantula collective my name

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,960
is richard and if you enjoy videos about

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,719
tarantulas scorpions and other

7
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:16,640
invertebrates and exotic pets make sure

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,840
turn on all notifications just to

11
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,920
reiterate i am not a biologist and i

12
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,160
have no scientific background i'm just a

13
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,400
guy that keeps and loves tarantulas and

14
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,560
other invertebrates as well as reptiles

15
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,399
amphibians pretty much any exotic pet

16
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,320
but my friends over at arthropods

17
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,000
ambassadors gave me this really cool

18
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800
gift it is a 40 vision tarantula spider

19
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,399
model at least that's what it says here

20
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:42,160
and it's stem certified and we're going

21
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,640
to put this together and learn all about

22
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800
the different parts of a tarantula i

23
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,719
don't want to dissect a real tarantula

24
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:50,079
or anything like that but i thought this

25
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:51,760
would be a good opportunity since i get

26
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,440
so many questions from people asking

27
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,440
about different names or different parts

28
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,440
of tarantulas now if you're not familiar

29
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,120
with arthropod ambassadors i will leave

30
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,559
a link form down below in the

31
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:02,640
description they breed and sell a lot of

32
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,879
mantises and isopods as well as other

33
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,479
invertebrates and they do a lot of

34
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:08,479
educational work so a huge thanks to

35
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:09,920
them for sending this out and if you're

36
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,680
interested in getting one for yourself i

37
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,040
will leave an affiliate link for this

38
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,560
product down below in the description as

39
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,080
well now it won't cost you anything

40
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,159
extra to use that link but the channel

41
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,320
does get a small commission from amazon

42
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,759
if you end up purchasing it so that

43
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:23,520
definitely helps and i always appreciate

44
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,360
the support but to start off what we

45
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,439
have is just the body of the tarantula

46
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:28,720
you know a lot of holes where stuff is

47
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,799
supposed to go and really the only thing

48
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,799
that's featured on the body that isn't

49
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:34,240
listed or broken apart are the

50
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,079
spinnerets which this tarantula looks to

51
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,479
be a brachypelma homore or a mexican red

52
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:40,079
knee tarantula they only have two

53
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,000
spinnerets like most tarantulas now i

54
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,439
think i've got it laid out correctly but

55
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:45,200
we'll find out as we put it together now

56
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,200
tarantulas have eight legs sometimes

57
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,720
people get confused because they see the

58
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,640
pedops and think they have ten legs but

59
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,840
we'll talk about that in a little bit

60
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,330
right now let's get these legs attached

61
00:01:55,330 --> 00:02:05,680
[Music]

62
00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:18,000
[Music]

63
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,280
now i'm noticing while putting this

64
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,040
together there's definitely a right and

65
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,120
wrong slot for the legs and each of the

66
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,280
little end pieces are slightly different

67
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,800
they got a different little shape so you

68
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,920
know that you're putting it into the

69
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,520
right hole so we got the legs on the

70
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,599
body and you can see there are little

71
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:33,519
nerves they have what they refer to as

72
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:35,040
the nerve cord that's running through

73
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,800
some of the legs which is very cool to

74
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,519
see again i'm just going off what is the

75
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:41,519
little booklet says inside of this i'm

76
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:43,519
not a scientist or biologist so i guess

77
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:45,760
what i'm trying to say is don't base a

78
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,920
research paper off of the anatomy that i

79
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:49,680
describe in this video

80
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,040
i'm just assuming that they know what

81
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,400
they're talking about so the first thing

82
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,400
we're going to put in here is the brain

83
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,560
and the eyes now tarantulas don't have a

84
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,120
brain like you and i do or other mammals

85
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,959
or even reptiles i mean you can see that

86
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:02,640
it looks a lot different and the eyes

87
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,080
are actually connected directly to the

88
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,760
brain and the eyes are referred to as a

89
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,360
celly which i think is how you pronounce

90
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,720
that but it looks like you just popped

91
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,000
these in here in the top

92
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,840
all right so we've got the eyes set in

93
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,360
here and then on top of the brain we

94
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,959
have these are actually connected

95
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:18,560
together but you can separate them but

96
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,239
it's the arteries and the mid-gut

97
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:22,720
branches and the sucking stomach so you

98
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,400
can see this sucking stomach and the

99
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,159
mid-gut branches which are like the

100
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,200
reddish orange color

101
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200
and then the arteries are the greenish

102
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
piece

103
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:44,720
the sucking stomach we'll just put in

104
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,100
right through the eyes

105
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,959
[Music]

106
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:52,799
and attach it right on top of the brain

107
00:03:56,799 --> 00:03:58,239
next we're going to do the cheliceric

108
00:03:58,239 --> 00:03:59,599
kind of like the fang something that

109
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:01,040
most people are familiar with and

110
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,560
they're hollow and connected to the

111
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,239
venom gland which you can see this

112
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:06,319
purple venom gland here that goes down

113
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,040
into the fang

114
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,360
all right fangs are installed let's see

115
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,799
what's next so it looks like the next

116
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:18,720
piece is the silk glance which there are

117
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,079
two of them they go on either side

118
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,840
so we'll just pop those in there

119
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,000
all right so those are in and the next

120
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240
piece we have is the sperm receptacle

121
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,160
and ovaries so obviously this is a

122
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,520
female that we're

123
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,520
assembling

124
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:50,490
[Music]

125
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,199
all right so we got that popped in there

126
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:01,040
now on top of that is the intestine

127
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,000
which has the gastric seca

128
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,479
casa ceca and the stur coral pocket

129
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:14,160
[Music]

130
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:19,819
[Music]

131
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,560
and then the last piece to put in there

132
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,720
is essentially the circulatory system

133
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,800
this is the the book lungs and the heart

134
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,479
the book lungs you can definitely see

135
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:30,320
here the heart is kind of in the middle

136
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,360
of this green part

137
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,280
all right so we got all of that together

138
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,840
so

139
00:05:52,030 --> 00:05:55,150
[Music]

140
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,960
and then they have these cool little

141
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,479
see-through domes you can put on there

142
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:06,639
so that way you like the insides don't

143
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,520
come spilling out

144
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,720
all right so now we have a completely

145
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,800
assembled tarantula and there we go we

146
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,720
have it all together so we've got the

147
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560
chalicerae or the fangs with the venom

148
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,960
gland we've got the pedopalps we've got

149
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,840
the four legs on each side the carapace

150
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,280
the abdomen and back here the spinnerets

151
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:28,720
and then just kind of break it down

152
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,240
further this part of the leg would be

153
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,960
the femur the patella

154
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,199
the tinta

155
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,199
the metatarsus

156
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,440
the tarsus then they don't really show

157
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,280
but at the end is the tarsus claw and on

158
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,319
the underside this would be the stem the

159
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:45,280
cephalo4x

160
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:46,800
the section where the legs kind of come

161
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,560
from is the coxa

162
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,160
then the book lungs

163
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,840
the epigenum

164
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,800
looks like right here with the

165
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,720
epigastric furrow

166
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,280
and then the crebellum

167
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:06,319
so if you want to learn more about

168
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:08,080
spider anatomy this is definitely a

169
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,599
pretty cool thing to pick up for

170
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:11,599
yourself or your kids or your grandkids

171
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:12,800
or if you're one of the people out there

172
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,240
that just love tarantulas but for

173
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,680
whatever reason you can't keep one on

174
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,599
your own i would definitely suggest

175
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:19,120
getting one of these it was it was fun

176
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,400
to put together i hope you enjoyed

177
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,759
watching me put it together though i'm

178
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:23,120
sure it'll be a lot more fun doing it

179
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,680
yourself and this is a massive tarantula

180
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,960
there's no tarantula i think it gets

181
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,800
this large but it definitely makes for a

182
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,639
cool little display piece as well as an

183
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:32,479
educational tool again if you if you

184
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:33,599
like this you want to get one for

185
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:35,199
yourself i will leave an affiliate link

186
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:37,280
