Tucson is known as the "Old Pueblo". A colorful history suggests that the area has been inhabited for over 8,000 years. A walled Presidio was created August 20, 1775, near the center of downtown, by Irishman, Hugh O'Connor, and a Colonel in the Spanish Army. The original wall no longer stands, but is commemorated in the historic El Presidio neighborhood.

Tucson, a first class desert city with an estimated population of 491,750, was noted as one of the fastest growing cities in the nation at the turn of the century. A unique mixture of Native Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Western Pioneer culture makes up a very fascinating blend.

TARANTULAS

A Tarantula is a hairy, long legged spider. Their leg span can be up to ten inches. Tarantulas usually burrow into the ground, lining the tunnels they create with silk, forming a webbed rim at the entrance, concealing the home. Tarantulas travel rather slowly as they are quite sluggish spiders. In captive, they have survived as long as 25 years, and will not bite unless provoked. Bites are quite painful since their fangs are large, and generally pierce the skin.

In the rare event of a bite get
medical help.
