Tarantulas find new home
The tree-dwelling spiders, which originate from Guyana, are part of the aquarium's new JAWS exhibition - featuring dangerous creatures from around the world.
Visitors are able to watch the tarantulas from the outside of their display and they can also view them through a two-metre tall acrylic viewing tower.
