Maraca cabocla

Maraca cabocla is a tarantula species found in Brazil, particularly in the northern state of Amazonas. It is one of two species currently recognized in the genus Maraca. Key facts about M. cabocla: 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 a distinctive pattern of lighter stripes on the legs. M. cabocla is an arboreal species that inhabits tropical rainforests, often constructing tubular silk retreats on trees or other vegetation. This species is known for its relatively small size and its occurrence in the Amazon rainforest. 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. cabocla is unknown, and further research is required to assess any potential threats to its populations in the wild. As with many tarantula species in the Amazon rainforest, habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and land-use changes may pose risks to wild populations.
