Giant spider surprises scientists, may give you nightmares

It was almost midnight in the Peruvian Amazon when scientists from the University of Michigan heard a scratching noise in the leaves and saw a dinner plate-sized tarantula dragging a opossum along the forest floor. #CNN #News

Anyone got this randomly recommended after 5 years?

[angelotero]

what's more surprising is I got this recommendation after it's been on YouTube for like 5yrs

Peru: *Has a largest spider*
Australia: Finally, worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!

Peru is officially off of my bucket list.

Spider; " Would you please stop shining that light and let me eat in peace!".

The most surprising part is that CNN has a video that's still relevant 5 years later.

Spider looking at the cameraman like: "you're next"

[MrArtVein]

Possum: If I play dead it'll leave me alone
Tarantula: 😂😂😂😂🍴

[scigasm]

Wow, thats got to at least be the size of a full grown pizza

[SirButtah]

A spider bigger than a possum is something I never want to encounter.

[cormel]

Awwe hell nah, I’d pass out if I saw that in person.

[aarongreenyearsago]

Man, this is the first time I was HOPING something from CNN was lying about something

[PassportBrosBusinessClass]

THE OPPOSUM IS JUST FINE.

He’s just PLAYING DEAD.

The Spider is helping him get home cause he’s tired.

[awesome-sauce-fi]

wtf are these measuring units. "dinner plate sized" "no longer than a spoon". Someone was hungry when making this?

[dayneinsayne]

Texas: Everything's bigger in Texas
Peru: Hold my Pisco Sour

[Stateofmind]

That thing turned Peter Parker into Spider man

[TheEndingAbyss]

Damn, gonna need some clown shoes to kill it.
