Does anyone knows the complete list of earth tigers? i can see some in wikipedia but its not the complete list
Ocean tiger... pretty sure that's just a shark.It would help if you searched for Chilobrachys instead of their common name. I believe that any tarantula with the common name "Earth Tiger" is a Chilobrachys.
As a side, what a strange name. Earth Tiger. As if there's an air tiger or a tree tiger. Swamp tiger? My God, ocean tiger?
Is nowhere safe anymore?Ocean tiger... pretty sure that's just a shark.
The tiger part is due to the markings on a lot of their abdomens. Not all "tigers" or earth tigers are Chilos either.. alot of the asian tarantulas are mixed the way avics used to be it seemsIt would help if you searched for Chilobrachys instead of their common name.

I think it's related or has something to do also, aside for their pattern, with Asian folklore mythology deities (ancient China especially, they had a crush for tigers) :-sAs a side, what a strange name. Earth Tiger. As if there's an air tiger or a tree tiger. Swamp tiger? My God, ocean tiger?

Wind:Could we also get a complete list of Wind Tigers, Fire Tigers and Water Tigers please?
^That's correct, it's from Asia with a striped abdomen. Most have loosely used or just straight made up adjectives in front of the Earth Tiger label. A lot of help in IDing that is...Tigers or earth tigers are classified into the subfamily Ornithoctoninae, they all share thr name tiger much the way a lot of separate sp are referred to as "baboons"
Omothymus
Cyriopags
Haplopelma
Lampropelmas...
And a few other species are often referred to as tigers
Water:Wind:
Tiger Woods in a plane
Fire:
Tiger Woods after eating Taco Bell.
Let's make this a thing.
And Citharognathus^That's correct, it's from Asia with a striped abdomen. Most have loosely used or just straight made up adjectives in front of the Earth Tiger label. A lot of help in IDing that is...
And don't forget Phormingochilus & Ornithoctonus spp.
Are those in the hobby or even worthy of the "Tiger" label?And Citharognathus
Good question... Ornithoctoninae sp. Vietnam highlands is supposed to be closely related or maybe even is Citarognathus and those are being bred more here in Europe...Are those in the hobby or even worthy of the "Tiger" label?
Who gives? We don't use common names anyway. LolGood question... Ornithoctoninae sp. Vietnam highlands is supposed to be closely related or maybe even is Citarognathus and those are being bred more here in Europe...
Now they dont have the tigerstripes on the abdomen so that doesent realy make them earthtigers..., but Selenocosmia javanensis allso doesent have tigermarks but the common name (i hate common names!!) is Java earthtiger...
So its up to you to deside if Citharognathus belongs to the earthtigers...
Anymore it never was there every where watching and waitingIs nowhere safe anymore?
