Bird Eating Tarantula on a Black Background. If you suffer from arachnophobia, then youââ¬â¢ll love this critter! The Goliath bird-eating tarantula is in a group of spiders that are the largest, by weight, of any known spider. Second only in dimension to Australiaââ¬â¢s huntsman spider. I have owned and handled several in my day and love these critters! Theyââ¬â¢re so impressive and always get your attention. These spiders are so large that you can hear them hiss when agitated! They prefer the rainforests of Central and South America. Goliaths, like other ââ¬Åbird eatersââ¬Â like leafy undergrowth, logs of fallen trees, and the areas around buttress roots.
