16. Gooty Beauty
Venturing into the realm of arachnids, the Gooty tarantula emerges as a strikingly beautiful and intimidating species. Found in southern India, this tarantula’s vibrant blue coloration and imposing size make it a creature of awe. Timid by nature, it tends to flee rather than attack. However, provoking it can result in a painful bite due to its potent venom. The Gooty tarantula’s scarcity in the wild can be attributed to habitat destruction caused by deforestation, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts to protect its unique splendor.
