Strangely, spiders breed babies by ... milk
Biologists are amazed to discover that a species called Toxeus magnus is capable of feeding babies with milk.
In fact, these characteristics are often only known to mammals such as cows and goats, etc. Therefore, when spiders are also able to raise babies with milk, it is really surprising.
Toxeus magnus spiders are capable of feeding their babies with 'breast milk'.
Usually, baby spiders don't eat anything until they grow big enough to hunt.
However, new information published by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the Toxeus magnus spiders have made 'difference'.
This very special way of caring for spiders helps the young to grow extremely quickly, reaching nearly half the adult spider size in 20 days.
'We could not find a way to explain why the baby spider developed without food until one night, I saw a spider clinging to its womb and discovered something special' , Zhangi Chen, a home Research in the group said.
To find out where the differences are, researchers put maternal spiders under a microscope and monitored them closely.
Surprisingly, the researchers discovered that the mother's abdomen spits out a creamy white milk-like liquid.
Shortly thereafter, researchers from China took samples of liquids for analysis and found that the cream-colored liquid of the mother spider had a protein content four times higher than that of cow's milk.
In order to have more authentic bases, the researchers prevented the spider spiders from interacting with the mother spider. After 10 days, the young spider died.
Currently, researchers are continuing to understand how mechanisms for mother spiders produce milk for baby spiders.
