Description
The Exmoor zoo shoot like all zoo shoots presents a few issues and they tend to be either fencing and dirty glass viewing along with reflections in windows... but it did provide a good collection of shots including this one of the Tarantula, this took place during the Bugs and Things show where people can gets some hands on with them... that is not my hand... I took the shot. I think it's Grammostola Rosea.

the zoo here is the same way. impossible to get a good tiger or gorilla captures because of poor viewing possibilities. superb capture and I doubt if I would allow it to be on my person
I'd let her walk on my hand great capture
Very cool capture!
What a gorgeous lady ! I always wanted to keep tarantulas and then I became sensitive to insect hairs, which is what stared my asthma.
This is a male called Boris, the girl presenting the show in this area of spiders and other critters said at the zoo they were not too original with names but this species is very placid and rarely bite unless they are absolutely messed with, when they get agitated they can flick up hairs from the back legs into the atmosphere that will certainly agitate anyone or thing trying to mess with it... if you have asthma such as we do this would be the time to get the inhaler out. Next they would rise up on their back legs into defence and attack mode.. you sometimes can see this in smaller garden spiders, if that fails then it would be out with the fangs... if bitten it is supposedly on a par with a bee sting but if you get a bad reaction then it can be fatal and in such cases if people consider this a risk they should carry an epipen.
cool shot and anicezoom
