Large brutal tarantula kills mouse (Acanthoscurria geniculata)

Acanthoscurria geniculata

1841 (Koch)

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Arachnida
Order: Araneae
Family: Theraphosidae
Subfamily: Theraphosinae
Genus: Acanthoscurria

This is my adult tarantula - she is female. Her name is Acanthoscurria geniculata and this species is commonly knows as Brazilian whiteknee tarantula or Whitebanded Tarantula. This one is really big one and I fed her using one mouse. She striked quickly and the mouse had no chance to survive. In this video you can see how this tarantula cought the mouse and then how it looked when she was eating it. It took more than 33 hours to eat the whole mouse. I reccomend you to read everything and consider if you want to see brutal (but natural) process of tarantula's eating.

Music was composed by me using Stage piano Yamaha NP-V80. I own the rights to any music or shots.

Check my profile/channel to find another tarantula or some other interesting and unusual animals/pets.

Hope you enjoyed and more videos coming soon.

The deadliest part of this video is the music

Little did the mouse know it was placed in a dark souls game.

This is one those videos, where I think “I don’t want to see that”. But then I click on it anyway.

a tarantula eats a grasshopper and nobody bats an eye

a tarantula eats a mouse and everyone loses their minds

This is what happens when a low level 'noob' goes into the high level area and gets ganked.

There are more people complaining about people complaining about the mouse than there are people actually complaining about the mouse.

Wow. But that music made me feel I was the one being eaten.

OK, it was no where as brutal as I thought it was going to be. The mouse was probably dead within a minute.

what you expected the spider to say
''Welcome just chill here so i can get popcorn and watch netflix''

I love how people are complaining about the mice getting eaten by the tarantula yet the irony most of us kill mice and rats too hypocrisy at it's finest
