Whipspiders are my absolute favorate animal! Theyre actually quite docile; they have very sweet and shy personalities. Adorable!

[Magics_]

Dude I got itchy and felt shit around my legs this scared the shit outta me

[bryanswaggbeast]

I thought coyote peterson would pop up :/

[creatureconnor]

The whip spider it's actually harmless! At least, that's what Coyote Peterson taught me.

[leipagel]

Correction to the title... Tailless whip scorpion.

[TrueSolunar]

This is considered an arachnid and not an insect, correct..?

[annm]

A leg span of 2 feet!?! Really?? That is wrong on so many levels.. Nope. Just nope.

[rotapp]

I used to be really afraid of spiders, but with time and research I've realized the amazing animals they are. Now I marvel at how evolution turned them into amazingly adapted predators and that helped the fear go away. I think Animal Planet should encourage people to stop looking at some animals as monsters and start looking at them in a different way, that way we would respect and appreciate all kinds of life.

There is no way I'm going outside ever again....

[pricenses]

Did you actually know it's not a spider and it's not a scorpion

[allisonfullen]

And why did I click on this while I am trying to go to bed?💀

[FirstnameLastname-rcyd]

I think once Barty Jr said it rightly as Alastor Moody, “avada kedavra”

[imaheadout]

This is not an insect. Insects have six legs. This is an arachnid.

[kakyoingostupid]

Uh oh. I have a thing for monsters. If there were a humam spider centaur creature, I'd be the first to let it do whatever it wants to me.

Whip spiders are not real spiders, although they are arachnids. They don’t have venoms, the don’t make webs and they don’t bite human.

[zeshi]

I feel the pain for any other spider keepers here, the overly dramatic music makes me cringe hard lmao

[guysolis]

I like how Dr. Esposito said, "..tasty morsel.." like we could all identify..

[keonroyal]

God be dropping DLCs without telling us

[beachsidemath]

its not a monster, i hate these subjective analysis in these videos, all it is is a wonderfully evolved creature.

[nekochen]

Whip spiders are fearsome looking?! I have arachnophobia (bitten by one as a kid) and these critters are somehow adorable to me lol... I guess they remind me of crabs than spiders.
