 Amazon Giant Centipedes

Amazon giant centipedes,

We grow to over a foot long.

Take care of dietary needs

Using our muscles quite strong.

From dark cave ceilings we hang out

By a few legs and then grab prey

With other legs, venom no doubt

Kills birds and bats in a quick way.

We, he and she, lay and hatch eggs,

More giant centipedes to grow,

A family of many legs

To take us where we choose to go.

Humans who handle us, beware,

Our venom can cause despair.
