Check out Jurgen's videos. He is the best of the best when it comes to Peacock Spider footage....

I apologize for the mistake in labelling the spiders. The second one is Maratus Pardus. Of course I missed something that obvious in the edit.

Fun fact, the male peacock spiders aren't only dancing, but "singing", their little dances send out vibrations in the ground that the female peacock spider can pick up on with her little feets.

Imagine how confused they must be about human relationships. No iridescent butt, and sometimes we don't even kill each other after mating.

They sound like they're seriously enjoying the voice acting😆

"This butt don't sweat, but it could knit you a sweater"
I'm speechless

*Pro Tip:* This does NOT work for humans.

Just take my word for it.

"I don't think this is gonna work... Geometrically"

Had me DYING I swear

Zefrank sees an animal mating dance: *THIS NEEDS A SONG*

[nicandknacksandseans]

I can imagine trying to get Quinta on board “hey, wanna pretend to be mating spiders for a video I’m doing?”
“Is it a porn-“
“ITS NOT A PORNO!”

[WhiteCavendish]

The little head tilt on the female when she says, "Is that yoga?" Is just...gold, seriously.

The only thing that makes me sad is how short these are.

[LunarLegate]

Our boy Frank been flexin' his singing skills lately.


Please continue.

"Wait, are you kidding me- this part _TURNS AROUND???_ You're like a TRANSFORMER! I know you said 'Stop. Talking.', but this is
*a m a z i n g."*

[Eltrio]

Imagine if Peter Parker was bitten by *THIS* spider.

[aumathewarriormouse]

The best thing about these spiders is there's a species called "Sparklemuffin". Yes really.
Jerry must've named them.

[AlchemixIncTM]

This is quite literally the only time I've ever been able to look at a spider and not scream like a small child.

Well done Zefrank you've done the impossible.

[phatbeatz]

Things I didn't expect in this vid:
A hot jam.
A spidy booty dance.

[marithemoth]

"Hi im pete!"
"Cool pete, dont give a (bleep) get over here"
"Uhm.."

[SkeletonKingYoutube]

Imagine Zefranks grandchildren listening to their grandfather.

[duchi]

I have a feeling
that Zefrank is low key just flexing us his singing skills at this point




and I love it
