You may now know a lot about this spider but, well how are they alive still? Do they eat? Of course they do! It states in Reading A-Z that the Goliath eats crickets, frogs, beetles, bats, mice, and every small animal they can find. The Goliath has fangs that are filled with venom that doesn’t kill it it paralyzes it. So that means it’s alive but it can’t move. When the Goliath bird eating spider senses the prey, it pounces grabs the prey with its legs and injects the toxic inside the prey. The Goliath then drags the prey to a safe location to eat it, but the Goliath does not have sturdy teeth. So what the spider does is it spits digestive juices at its prey to make it dissolve so the prey is softer and the Goliath can have a meal for the day. The Goliath bird eating spider can turn a mouse into a pile of fur and bones in about thirty six hours. Now you know a lot about the monstrosity of an animal called the Goliath Bird Eating spider.
