He Was In The Amazon With My Mom When She Was Researching Spiders Right Before She Died .

So never go to the Amazon, got it. Thank you.

Imagine that spider coming after you at 10 mph

[NarutoOrganisation]

This is so cool! Not only was that probably a risky hunt, but that tarantula handled people checking it out pretty well! It didn't drop it's prey and run for safety (if they do that?). It's also very gorgeous. I'm always so amazed at what unique life Earth can support.

Are we all gonna just ignore that the crocodile was singing beautiful melodies with those butterflies?

[MandyDollofDollLand]

What is going on with the crocodile and those butterflies?

[zuxx]

Okay, let me just add this to my "Never-go-to-these-places" list.

Ok, nature you win with your dinner plate sized spiders. We tap.

[duskyfox]

Yeah, I'm just gonna be over here, 1, 000 miles away from that thing.

[crestfaIIen]

....and i thought till now that the huntsman is the biggest spider on earth. but this one is next level!

[marioparra]

That looks way bigger than a dinner plate to me.

[eddielasowsky]

That was a baby oppossum, an addult would have destroyed that Spider smh

[MrMarkar]

She is the prettiest thing from Michigan I ever saw!

0:55-0:57 - you can hear a screaming piha. Also earlier in the video, but not as loud :)

[andan]

I'll be unable to sleep knowing I live in the same hemisphere with these creatures.

Croc: "I gets high on butterflies 😆

[jesustapdncingchrist]

this is exactly how the movie Arachnophobia happened

[worrell]

Question. Were you guys at CICRA in the Madre De Dios region of southern Peru by chance?

[cesarmillan]

La verdad es que aquí en Perú hay diversas especies de arácnidos y anfibios . Selva virgen y muy interesante a la vez. Buen trabajo!

[sayrock]

Gosh, all these folks sure seem like people I'd like to hang out with. So smart and pleasant, and probably filled with interesting stories. I imagine it's because they're all from good down-to-earth Midwestern stock!
