Why Tarantulas Are Lovely Creatures | Phrixotrichus vulpinus

Phrixotrichus - a tongue breaker genus from the southern region of Chile. Remarkable beautiful specimens with colors only a few other tarantulas have. Follow us on our search in the chilly Chile for these amazing Phrixotrichus - or the Chilean Ocelot aka Red Fox - tarantula.
Watch us how we find adult males, adult females, freshly hatched egg sacks and much more! One of the few possibilities where it was possible to document all the life stages of Phrixotrichus in their natural habitat

A shame we can't keep them in the hobby but glad they are doing well in the wild

[@birdspiders]

Chile has huge areas with protected zones, so at the moment it looks really fine

Must be a prime member of PETA

[@bernadettelinfoot]

This was a very interesting and informative video thank you

[@SuperLoops]

very beautiful tarantauls they are even fluffier than nicaraguan albos 😂 its sad that they dont thrive in captivity but its lovely to see them in their home and Im super happy their habitats are protected and they can live in peace 💕

[@Anakin_1733]

He is not that huge compared to Grammostola males (1st one u saw). Once I saw a Grammostola anthracina of more than 20cm. I swear i'm not lying

[@klaskristian1]

Awesome! Please Martin, could you in the future go to one of those caves in Mexico and make a research of this cave dwellung speicies. I would live to learn how they live, their prey and much more. I only know that they where in the genus Spelopelma before, but they have been change to that genus you mention. I love both tarantulas AND caves, so that would be great

[@retoehrler]

Awesome tarantula!

[@venomvenom3194]

Our fire fox tarantula in PH is nice too

[@paraspider1]

Ohh big carapax!

[@Drew85myster]

So lucky to be able to do what your doing. Really cool.

[@birdspiders]

Very fortunate I know, so happy about it! :)

[@sebastianponce8580]

Hi nice video, I'm from the Bio-Bio region in Chile and I wanted to ask you if you remember where you shot this video because I'd love to go there and see those amazing tarantulas. Greetings from Concepción, I love your content.

[@birdspiders]

cheers Sebastián! They are all around Concepcion ;) make sure to check out some of the national parks there, I'm sure you will find them there!

[@sebastianponce8580]

Thank you!! I hope I can find one since I've never seen this species before, and didn't even know we had such a beatiful tarantula around the city.

[@jrgiggulden]

There a loads of these around the moment near Ralún in southern Chile

[@birdspiders]

I can imagine :D

[@danielcooper175]

Great videos bud thanks for sharing , just ordered a sling of these :)

[@birdspiders]

Thanks Daniel!

[@birdspiders]

you should check if they look like the spiderlings in the video, with two distinct urticating hair patches. If they don't then it's not Phrixotrichus :)

[@danielcooper175]

birdspidersCH I will keep you updated buddy

[@birdspiders]

yep, but since they offer only 1cm slings I would like to know how they look. In fact that is the only Chilean species you can identify as a spiderling, unique characters!

[@danielcooper175]

Waiting for it to come today in the post bud , are you on instagram ?

[@jorgeg922]

wow.... what a beautiful tarantula..!!! too bad it isn't surviving in captivity...thanks for the video!!

[@birdspiders]

cheers Jorge!

[@syddiesel8420]

Wonderful channel my friend subscribed with pleasure 😊

[@conchitamay4859]

Love to hear you pronounce the spiders names. Your adorable as well as the spiders

[@misskestrel78]

This is an incredible video! Thank you for sharing your adventure like this!

[@birdspiders]

thanks a lot! This species was so amazing to see in the wild, glad you like the content :)

[@bugsnstuff]

Wonderful!

[@birdspiders]

thanks mate!

[@beawesley5834]

I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you.

[@DeensTarantulas]

Awesome footage and great info! Thanks for sharing!

[@birdspiders]

Thanks Deen! Much appreciated

[@mattm7798]

Kinda wild. When you think of south america, you don't think of pine forests. I'd be curious to see the natural habitat of the chilean rose hair. I've heard it's pretty bone dry.

[@pedrova8058]

forestal industry, one of the legacies of the dictatorship (now "Forestal Arauco" blesses the lands in the jungle of Misiones, also in Brazil and Paraguay)

[@jordanbmiddleton8938]

Dude, I want one!!!

[@birdspiders]

they are adorable

[@megjakehavi5848]

Phrixotrichus vulpinus...easy for you to say. LOL. Beautiful specimens. Happy you were able to catch so many life stages. Those legs go on forever and ever!!

[@birdspiders]

Yeah I like that name, a little bit of practicing though :P Thanks Meg!

[@algwallt869]

Just found your channel today. So glad I did! Very informative videos. Great stuff! +1 Sub.

[@birdspiders]

Thank you Al, much appreciated!

[@ASHEN_ONE_GAMES]

awesome finds as always

[@cedb3360]

OOOh cool you know Martin from Tarantula Canada. Thats where I get my Ts. I was really on the edge thinking you were about to say he had those in store ^^

[@birdspiders]

he's awesome! they had them at one time back in the days though

[@ensiel4738]

Sad to hear that they die easily in captivity.. Could it be the need for direct sunlight as you observed earlier? Maybe the importers kept them in typical keeper conditions where light is kept to a minimum and no exposure to sunlight.

[@birdspiders]

they probably behaved like this to increase the chance for a successful eggsack, since they were all with freshly hatched spiderlings at that time. All theories of course, more research would be necessary

[@ensiel4738]

@@birdspiders I see. I hope this species can make it to the hobby someday they are really unique! Also hoping you could do some coverage on Theraphosa Stirmi if you happen to pass by South America. :)

[@MaximiliansMom]

They are so pretty

[@birdspiders]

Thanks Christina :))

[@riddermichi]

would be awesome to see an episode on G.Pulchra if those are found in chile too!

[@birdspiders]

they are not from Chile no, but who knows - maybe in the future ;-)

[@babixillo]

really cool specimen, great info! also dude, check out your eng sub at 8:48 lol

[@birdspiders]

thanks mate! Auto-subtitles from youtube really mess with scientifc names... Especially with Phrixotrichus I had a good laugh while editing these lol

[@rochellenilson-huntley6687]

Maybe u need the pine needles

[@birdspiders]

possibly, they have not been seen in the hobby recently
