 * // Where do tarantulas live? // **

Tarantulas are found in the rainforests and jungles of South and Central America, in Africa and in parts of Asia and Australia. Some have even been reported to live in mountain country.

Many tarantulas live in burrows underground. They will either use their fangs to dig holes or they may take the burrow of another animal, such as of a mouse. Even though they do not spin webs, tarantulas use their silk to make doors or soft walls for their burrow. The females deposit their eggs in the silk.
