This amazing creature has a fittingly amazing name: the psychedelic earth tiger, also known as the Indian rainbow #tarantula. It appears on Fauna & Flora’s 10 species to watch in 2026, a list of animals the conservation charity is hoping to protect. The list also includes extremely venomous vipers, a highly prized falcon and a guitarfish which looks like it has been sewn together from two different species in a “misguided scientific experiment.”
