GRUESOME!!
Tarantulas are very strong spiders. They pounce on their prey and hold it still with their legs while their fangs inject poison. The poison paralyzes the prey and a special fluid from the spider's stomach digests the soft parts. The spider then sucks up the insides of its victim's body.


Adopt a Tree

Select a tree in your garden or neighbourhood.

Watch it change throughout the seasons.

Take pictures of the tree in each season.

What kind of tree is it?

What animals or insects also live in the tree?

Draw some leaves.

Send (by email or snail mail) your 4 best pictures, one from each season (summer, autumn, winter and spring), and Global Forest will post them in the GF-Gallery along with your name and we will mail you a cool Maurice and Lisa boarding t-shirt.
