A tarantula is not truly a spider. Although they are in the same family of Arachnids, they are different due to the fact that a true spider's fangs move on an axis, while a tarantula must attack in a specific manner. Tarantulas mainly rise onto their hind legs and lunge because their fangs are fixed in one position.
