Tarantula Scientist Did you know that a tarantula smells with its feet and has its stomach in its head? Did you know it spins a special mat for itself just before it sheds its skin? That’s not all! Come join author Sy Montgomery as she follows arachnologist (spider scientist) Sam Marshall tromping around in the rainforest of French Guiana. You'll study tarantulas' habitat, diet, love life, and body parts! (Are their fangs the most dangerous parts?) Filled with
