Five peacock tarantulas have moved into the zoo Nordens ark, writes Bohusläningen.

The spiders are part of the zoo’s breeding program. But they don’t know how it will go yet.

But if all goes well, each female can produce 150-200 new spiders per mating.

– The hope is that we will mate them and get a lot of very fast, poisonous spiders. I get nervous just saying it, says Jimmy Helgesson.
