Killing and Eating
Technically speaking, spiders do not have teeth. However, they do have pointed jaws. These are located just below their mouth. But the most dangerous part of a poisonous spider is its fangs. These are two sharp needle like teeth, often one to two centimeters long. The inside of fang is hollow. The fangs are connected to a gland inside the spider’s mouth. This gland has venom. When a spider attacks its prey, it swings its two sharp fangs like an axe into its enemy. The fangs sink into the prey and a few milligrams of venom flows out. Sometime, the venom just paralyzed the spider’s prey. Many spider warp up their dead or paralyzed victim in silk and then carry it to their home. However, spiders don’t eat their prey like humans do. Spiders inject digestive enzymes into the prey. This is like an acid which turns the inside of the prey into liquid. Finally, the spider drinks the internal parts of its prey just like a milkshake.
