Ha! We have them here too Sir @janton, lovely little (big) fellows.
"The spider originally referred to as a Tarantula, was the European Wolf Spider, (Lycosa tarantula). It is large and hairy and often found living in burrows. In South Africa the Tarantula also became known as Baboon Spiders".
Taken from the book "Filmer's Spiders".
Many people keep them as pets here!
Blessings!

Howdy again sir papilloncharity! Oh I bet you guys have lots of giant spiders down there! I can't see having them as pets though. I mean they don't interact with you or show any emotions but I guess they might be interesting to study. Do they bother you?
No Sir @janton, they don't bother me, it is the small poisonous ones that get me every time. But it's simply because I walk in their territory in nature.
Blessings!
Well at least you can see the big ones most of the time to avoid them or knock them out of the way.
