The veterinarian staff at the Oklahoma City Zoo repair a cut on a tarantula by using "superglue".
After figuring out that an exposed blob on the tarantula's abdomen was its innards, zoo vets gently pushed them back in and sealed up the cut with a skin adhesive that is similar to superglue for living creatures.The brown tarantula gently sandwiched between Jeff Rife's hands didn't move or fuss much as an Oklahoma City Zoo staff member glued it back together.
The spider is about 6 or 7 years old and has been a resident of the Oklahoma Trails exhibit since it opened in 2007, said Rife, antelope supervisor at the zoo.
