Information from the official postal services publication (please note that the information about the animals may or may not be accurate, I am simply re-typing the information).
Tarantulas are hairy spiders of considerable sizes, living in a large variety of habitats, from the desert to the tropical rainforest. According to their lifestyle, tarantulas can be devided into two main categories: terrestrial and arboreal. Commonly, they feed on insects and other arthropods, but big-size individuals may hunt lizards, mice and even birds, a reason for which they are scientifically named Avicularia. Males live less than females. Lately, tarantulas have also been cherished as pets; nevertheless, their handling requires a lot of attention.

It lives in mountain areas of Central America. Young tarantulas feed on crickets and other small insects, while the adults feed on beetles, small lizards, baby mice or even adult mice.
