Question about Male Tarantulas with Tibial Hooks
editWould male tarantulas with tibial Hooks count as sexual coercion? This is because the male uses them to hold the females fangs so it cant attack and resist.
I am asking first because it has not been added. Notsorrysorry (talk) 01:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I think this would count if you provide a reference to a reliable source regarding the behavior. 108.18.207.147 (talk) 16:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- The article on, e.g. Grammostola pulchripes contains the claim about tibial hooks, also unsourced. This LiveScience article does mention them, but not by name: https://www.livescience.com/54283-animal-sex-tarantulas.html. The US National Park Service agrees here: https://www.nps.gov/articles/tarantula.htm. Finally, there's a Wikimedia Commons photo of a tarantula with the tibial hook identified: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tarantula_tibal_hooks.JPG IAmNitpicking (talk) 01:23, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
