What is a Guabá?

For those who might be asking what a heck means Guabá on Guabaman's name? 

Here is your answer:

Guabá *[goo-ab-ah] is a Spider best known as the Whip Spider (Chelicerata: Amblypygi)
These are located all over the world not just in Puerto Rico. This particular one is about the size of your hand but allegedly they can get up to a Couple feet wide (this would be mostly legs with the body only being only a couple fingers wide). It eats crickets, small lizards, and frogs. They are nocturnal and hang around caves and rock outcroppings. Locally there are known to bite but have no venom.

Here some pictures of what they look like:



Ugly fellas, aren't they?

I found this info here, where you can learn more about this horrendous creature. But be alert, not only the pictures are ugly, but the website have a background sound so annoying that I recommend you to turn your volume down if you go there.

Ok, enough with the biology class. I promise you next topic will be about cartoons.
