A specimen of avicularia throws a stream of excrement as protection.

One of the most notable features of Avicularia spp. Is its odd defense method. Frightened, they rush to run away as fast as they can. At the same time, they shoot a stream of excrement in the direction of the threat. Adult individuals are able to shoot accurately enough and at a distance of 0.5-1 m.
