Why New Tarantula Species Keep Emerging
Вставка

- The lifestyle of tarantulas is vastly underdocumented. So much more is out there to learn about tarantulas and their behavior. Follow us in the field to learn more about tarantula spiders. This time we visit the country of Peru where we have not only documented a new tarantula species - but a new genus of tarantulas altogether. For the first time on video, enjoy watching with us the happy moment of these little jewel tarantulas endemic to Peru.
Under the protection of the dull brown spinifex grass, in the security of ancient rocks and solid green protections, the little jewels from the Andes roam the landscape. Even though they are tarantula spiders these individuals appear to be on the smaller end of the scale.
But they might always remember that their bigger cousins, the Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula is just a few thousand meters down the hill and some hundred kilometers away in the Amazon basin. Who was first? The Giant tarantula from the lush tropical forest walking up the hills and getting smaller in thousands of years of evolution? Or did these dwarf excavators walk down from the cold mountain tops down to the lush green forests and evolve into something bigger? This and many more questions regarding the ecology of these outstanding spiders are still unknown, that’s why young people with fascination are needed to find out more about them.

I'm having such a hard time right now, what perfect timing for an upload. So excited now, thank you so much for what you do.
Thanks Zulema, hope you're doing better soon!
@@birdspiders Thank you so much, hope you're well! ♡
Crazy how underrated this channel is! Some of the most high quality and insightful tarantula content I’ve watched.
Tarantula Collective sent me, and I have to say, as a babeh with just a couple fledgeling undergrad papers and some experience in a lab at my uni, I absoluitely LOVE this approach to education about T's. as much as some of the hobbyists in the space try to be scientific and educational, getting a more research-focused approach to things is 100% up my alley.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Big Love
I am young and I have a huge fascination with spider and tarantulas I have my whole life since I can remember I would love to be able to roam the earth looking for new species and understanding their evolution. What a dream
This is my new favourite channel! Keep up the great work mate!
they seem very chill 🥰 very nice find!
Cute lil thing ain’t it?
thanks Kat! the bigger ones were a little fierce though, didnt handle them :)
I love the work you are doing. I own captive bred tarantulas and its fascinating to see them in the wild. It makes me pay much more attention to the world around me.
Nice camerawork, elaborate information about the specific habitat and evolutianary debate. And above all...no fake over the top presentation. Just let the high quality content do it's work.
much appreciated, thanks!
Amazing! I love dwarf tarantulas!
Just wanted to say that your efforts do not go unnoticed. You deserve unlimited success for your work. Congratulations on being part of describing this species. It’s amazing that you are out in the field sharing this content with all of us. You’re an inspiration
thanks you Joshua - it's all part of the hobby spirit, sharing is caring :) glad you enjoyed it! more episodes and trips are in the works and will be uploaded in Q4 this year
You should upload more often, and you should do a video on pamphobeteus and phormictopus
great advice! do you know a good video editor who has some spare time? :-)
Amazing work
great video as always martin,what a cool spider
Martin you're living the dream, what a cool spider
I tend to spend my saved money and vacations for experiences like this, even better when I can share some of it with the world :)
I just found you vids !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Totally Awesome, Thank You !!
It’s wonderful that you are sharing your experiences; I wish that I could roll back time, when my health was better, and join in your adventures. Since this is not possible, I am grateful to see this through your eyes. Thank you for all your hard work. I hope you are excited about your journey; your efforts share an unique perspective that many could not experience otherwise.
thanks for your words! it's a pleasure sharing our travels with fellow enthusiasts :) of course we are grateful for all the possibilities we have and do not take it for granted, every trip is unique and will never be forgotten, all the people met along the journey it's truly amazing :)
Very exciting 😃
thanks for the video!
Congratulations, such an amazing find, it just goes to show how versatile these creatures really are 👍🏻
Lovely keep up the great work. 😊🕷❤
thank you Kate!
Thx 4 sharing this with us. ❤️

Hope things get easier for you Martin.. thanks for the upload.👌 what a sweet little tarantula
thanks Sam!
Awesome video Martin...
Thank you Amal!
That’s so cool about being attributed to an animal!! Thank you for sharing your adventures. I enjoy watching the little friends walking around just hanging out :)
cheers Norja!
That species reminds me of Bonnetina aviae. Thanks for sharing such a great footage.
thanks Gerardo! nice comparison :)
awesome video
thank you, feel free to share it with friends :)
Martin please come back to both worlds podcast,I miss your knowledge in the tarantula world
maybe yes or maybe no, time will tell
Video not long enough lol but super good job
hehe - I think I will do more shorter videos, people tend not to watch videos for a long time my analytics says
@@birdspiders lol I guess I'm a die hard fan it's all good I'll still watch whatever u put out
Very nice. Are they syntopic with other tarantula species? If yes which and how do they differ regarding habitat use? Thanx for sharing.
Love everything you do Martin. Whether you choose to do shorter videos or craft an hour long epic, I'll watch and appreciate your work all the same.
much appreciated James, thanks
This is wonderful. 🖤🕷
cheers Louis!
Fascinating 🤍
that's what I think everytime :) great you enjoyed it!
That is one cute tarantula 🕷️
indeed :) thanks for your comment!
What are you doing all this time when no videos come out? Just curious.
very cool!
cheers Tom!
Wonderful to these spiders in their natural habitat. Thank you
thank you Paul!
Their so tiny ❤️❤️
they are indeed!
You kind of answered your own question in my mind. I would think the tarantulas (or any animal) would go from the areas with the most food to the areas with the least food as space runs out.
maybe, maybe not :) there is certainly more than just food abundance
Amazing as always 🤘
thank you Ferdy!
@@birdspiders when are we going to asia again? (My favorite)
difficult to say, i love the Americas since I can talk with the people and immerse myself fully and get the best out of it. For Asia it's often difficult due to the language barrier. Which species would like to see most from Asia?
@@birdspiders difficult to say, i'm a huge Haplopelma man myself, a lot going on now in the phillipines as well with Orphnaecus and Selenocosmiinae in general.... i would love to see you guys explore borneo personally... find some doriae on kalimantan
hope you know our videos of Thailand. Borneo I've already visited, just no movie material from there :) Maybe once the travel restrictions will ease for Asia, it's still difficult to travel to. But South America is just more interesting to me, and time and money is rare for trips anyway :)
any white leg scolopendra found there? I think that's where they are found too.
no, they dont live in altitudes like this
Wie schlimm waren die Kopfschmerzen da oben? ;-)
nur die ersten 2-3 Tage des zweiwöchigen Trips, danach kein Problem mehr. Sieht man denk ich auch in den Videos ;-)
I like when you kolab with Kat! It's good fun :)
sure thing!
@@birdspiders Hope she uses some Swiss German soon in the videos :D Hoi Zäme !
