Trending: Giant Spider Rescued From Floodwaters

Rescuers in North Queensland, Australia pulled the branch from the water and transferred the spider to a nearby avocado tree

In America we rescue dogs in Australia they rescue spiders.

I’m an Australian, lived here my whole life. We are in an age where we need these spiders. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t particularly enjoy them. The difference between them and Cockroaches is that spiders have more respect, roaches are just downright rude. They’ll fly at you in the middle of the night if you’re on your phone and are the only light in the room. Spiders play a part in making sure that never happens to me again 😂

They terrify me but yea I would save it and then go screaming into the night like a little girl once it was safe

[megatronacepticon]

I mean that spider would chase and eat a mosquito that tried to suck you, so it's only fair to save it in return.

As scary as they may seem...spiders are the good guys and our friends. You will think otherwise when these floods kill all these spiders, and all of sudden there are horrible swarms of mosquitos everywhere

I would prefer to handle that tarantula than the huntsman spider

[warrenguy]

I would of for sure saved it, but would needed a good size bucket to push it into!

*_All living things deserve to be saved._*

*The spider was asked how it ended up on the branch, and how it felt about being rescued.*

*The spider didn't respond, because it's a focking spider and it can't talk.*

[huseyinemreeken]

I was like
Wtf is that big?!?!
"australia"
Oh ok it's pretty normal

[WildCapybara]

Poor Spider Man.. I Would Walk In The Water And Save Him And Comfort The Guy, Put Him In A Nearby Garden For Him To Stay Safe And Walk Off Proud Of My Actions.

[namelessanonymous]

That news reporter is annoying as hell. Just because you don't like an animal, doesn't mean others shouldn't save it.

[Ujuani]

Yes, I would save this poor animal in distress.

We get tarantulas that big here in Arizona, and NGL they are so big my brain classifies them more as a sort of lizard or turtle than a bug. They can bite, but only when you really scare them. If you respect them like you would a pet hamster or rat or lizard, they kinda either just chill out with you or decide to run away from you. Lots of people here keep them as pets, and I would absolutely save one of the local 'ranchos here if I saw one clinging to a branch like that!

[FloorJuice]

Roaches be damned im never saving a roach but a spider depending how firey that things looking I might save it by hand or with a paper.

[austinparr]

I would have just grabbed it with my hand he wont bite you he knows yee about to die and would be hype if sum1 saves him

[DontPlayVictim]

Life is beautiful! sad part is no one will ever know or care about her 300 kids she had to watch drown while her mate died trying to save them, respect nature❤
