00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:02.639
today we are going to talk about the

00:00:02.639 --> 00:00:05.000
anatomy of a tarantula

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.360
[Music]

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.200
welcome to tarantula collective my name

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:12.960
is richard and if you enjoy videos about

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.719
tarantulas scorpions and other

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:16.640
invertebrates and exotic pets make sure

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.320
you hit that subscribe button and don't

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.000
forget to click the notification bell to

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.840
turn on all notifications just to

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:23.920
reiterate i am not a biologist and i

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.160
have no scientific background i'm just a

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.400
guy that keeps and loves tarantulas and

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:30.560
other invertebrates as well as reptiles

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.399
amphibians pretty much any exotic pet

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.320
but my friends over at arthropods

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.000
ambassadors gave me this really cool

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.800
gift it is a 40 vision tarantula spider

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.399
model at least that's what it says here

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.160
and it's stem certified and we're going

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:44.640
to put this together and learn all about

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.800
the different parts of a tarantula i

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:48.719
don't want to dissect a real tarantula

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.079
or anything like that but i thought this

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.760
would be a good opportunity since i get

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.440
so many questions from people asking

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:55.440
about different names or different parts

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:57.440
of tarantulas now if you're not familiar

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:59.120
with arthropod ambassadors i will leave

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:00.559
a link form down below in the

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:02.640
description they breed and sell a lot of

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.879
mantises and isopods as well as other

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.479
invertebrates and they do a lot of

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:08.479
educational work so a huge thanks to

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:09.920
them for sending this out and if you're

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.680
interested in getting one for yourself i

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.040
will leave an affiliate link for this

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.560
product down below in the description as

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.080
well now it won't cost you anything

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.159
extra to use that link but the channel

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.320
does get a small commission from amazon

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:21.759
if you end up purchasing it so that

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:23.520
definitely helps and i always appreciate

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.360
the support but to start off what we

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:27.439
have is just the body of the tarantula

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:28.720
you know a lot of holes where stuff is

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:30.799
supposed to go and really the only thing

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.799
that's featured on the body that isn't

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.240
listed or broken apart are the

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:36.079
spinnerets which this tarantula looks to

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.479
be a brachypelma homore or a mexican red

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:40.079
knee tarantula they only have two

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.000
spinnerets like most tarantulas now i

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.439
think i've got it laid out correctly but

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.200
we'll find out as we put it together now

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.200
tarantulas have eight legs sometimes

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.720
people get confused because they see the

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.640
pedops and think they have ten legs but

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:51.840
we'll talk about that in a little bit

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.330
right now let's get these legs attached

00:01:55.330 --> 00:02:05.680
[Music]

00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:18.000
[Music]

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.280
now i'm noticing while putting this

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.040
together there's definitely a right and

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.120
wrong slot for the legs and each of the

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.280
little end pieces are slightly different

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:26.800
they got a different little shape so you

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.920
know that you're putting it into the

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:29.520
right hole so we got the legs on the

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.599
body and you can see there are little

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.519
nerves they have what they refer to as

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:35.040
the nerve cord that's running through

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.800
some of the legs which is very cool to

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.519
see again i'm just going off what is the

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:41.519
little booklet says inside of this i'm

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:43.519
not a scientist or biologist so i guess

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:45.760
what i'm trying to say is don't base a

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:47.920
research paper off of the anatomy that i

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:49.680
describe in this video

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.040
i'm just assuming that they know what

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.400
they're talking about so the first thing

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.400
we're going to put in here is the brain

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.560
and the eyes now tarantulas don't have a

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.120
brain like you and i do or other mammals

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.959
or even reptiles i mean you can see that

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:02.640
it looks a lot different and the eyes

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:04.080
are actually connected directly to the

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.760
brain and the eyes are referred to as a

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:07.360
celly which i think is how you pronounce

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.720
that but it looks like you just popped

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:12.000
these in here in the top

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:13.840
all right so we've got the eyes set in

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.360
here and then on top of the brain we

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:16.959
have these are actually connected

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:18.560
together but you can separate them but

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.239
it's the arteries and the mid-gut

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:22.720
branches and the sucking stomach so you

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:24.400
can see this sucking stomach and the

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.159
mid-gut branches which are like the

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.200
reddish orange color

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:31.200
and then the arteries are the greenish

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.840
piece

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:44.720
the sucking stomach we'll just put in

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:46.100
right through the eyes

00:03:46.100 --> 00:03:48.959
[Music]

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:52.799
and attach it right on top of the brain

00:03:56.799 --> 00:03:58.239
next we're going to do the cheliceric

00:03:58.239 --> 00:03:59.599
kind of like the fang something that

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.040
most people are familiar with and

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:02.560
they're hollow and connected to the

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.239
venom gland which you can see this

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:06.319
purple venom gland here that goes down

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.040
into the fang

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.360
all right fangs are installed let's see

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.799
what's next so it looks like the next

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:18.720
piece is the silk glance which there are

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.079
two of them they go on either side

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.840
so we'll just pop those in there

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.000
all right so those are in and the next

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.240
piece we have is the sperm receptacle

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.160
and ovaries so obviously this is a

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.520
female that we're

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:42.520
assembling

00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:50.490
[Music]

00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:57.199
all right so we got that popped in there

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.040
now on top of that is the intestine

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.000
which has the gastric seca

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.479
casa ceca and the stur coral pocket

00:05:11.090 --> 00:05:14.160
[Music]

00:05:16.730 --> 00:05:19.819
[Music]

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.560
and then the last piece to put in there

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.720
is essentially the circulatory system

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.800
this is the the book lungs and the heart

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.479
the book lungs you can definitely see

00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:30.320
here the heart is kind of in the middle

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:33.360
of this green part

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:38.280
all right so we got all of that together

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:46.840
so

00:05:52.030 --> 00:05:55.150
[Music]

00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.960
and then they have these cool little

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:02.479
see-through domes you can put on there

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.639
so that way you like the insides don't

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.520
come spilling out

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:12.720
all right so now we have a completely

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.800
assembled tarantula and there we go we

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.720
have it all together so we've got the

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.560
chalicerae or the fangs with the venom

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.960
gland we've got the pedopalps we've got

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:23.840
the four legs on each side the carapace

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:27.280
the abdomen and back here the spinnerets

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:28.720
and then just kind of break it down

00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.240
further this part of the leg would be

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.960
the femur the patella

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:35.199
the tinta

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.199
the metatarsus

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.440
the tarsus then they don't really show

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:41.280
but at the end is the tarsus claw and on

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:43.319
the underside this would be the stem the

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.280
cephalo4x

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:46.800
the section where the legs kind of come

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.560
from is the coxa

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.160
then the book lungs

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.840
the epigenum

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:52.800
looks like right here with the

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.720
epigastric furrow

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.280
and then the crebellum

00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:06.319
so if you want to learn more about

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.080
spider anatomy this is definitely a

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:09.599
pretty cool thing to pick up for

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:11.599
yourself or your kids or your grandkids

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:12.800
or if you're one of the people out there

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.240
that just love tarantulas but for

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.680
whatever reason you can't keep one on

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.599
your own i would definitely suggest

00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:19.120
getting one of these it was it was fun

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.400
to put together i hope you enjoyed

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:21.759
watching me put it together though i'm

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:23.120
sure it'll be a lot more fun doing it

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.680
yourself and this is a massive tarantula

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.960
there's no tarantula i think it gets

00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:28.800
this large but it definitely makes for a

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.639
cool little display piece as well as an

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.479
educational tool again if you if you

00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:33.599
like this you want to get one for

00:07:33.599 --> 00:07:35.199
yourself i will leave an affiliate link

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.280
