Magulla obesa

Magulla obesa is a tarantula species found in Brazil, particularly in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is one of four species currently recognized in the genus Magulla. Key facts about M. obesa: Adult females have a body length of around 5-6 cm, with males being slightly smaller. The coloration is typically a uniform dark brown to black, with no distinct patterns or markings. M. obesa is a terrestrial species that inhabits grassland and savanna habitats, often hiding under rocks or in burrows. This species is known for its relatively small size and its stout, heavy-bodied appearance. The natural history and behavior of this species in the wild are poorly studied, and more research is needed to understand its ecology and conservation status. The current conservation status of M. obesa is unknown, and further research is required to assess any potential threats to its populations in the wild. As with many tarantula species in southern Brazil, habitat loss and degradation due to land-use changes may pose risks to wild populations.
