World's Biggest Spider Gobbles Down an Unsuspecting Lizard 

LMAO!! That's classic

lol true

If you make your hand crawl along your desk (or any other surface) using your fingers as legs, that's how this spider sounds when it walks.

At least it can't sneak up on you then.

Dak Jacobs that’s what she said

and some you nuke

Grab a square of toilet paper right? Lol

redgenome or burn!!!

and some, you burn

redgenome no joke🤣

Human immune system: Hello there

Look up cross examined

@@didistealyourname2541 eh humans have less of a effect cause of our size salamanders would be a better example with the venom but dont let it eat the salamander

The Goliath Bird-Eating Spiders aren't really dangerous to humans. They're big, yes, but their venom is not very well-adapted for affecting mammals, especially large primates like us. In fact, there are several tribes who even catch and eat these spiders as a delicacy, because they're relatively slow-moving compared to other protein sources in the jungle like birds and monkeys. The main trouble with trying to eat these is all those hairs on the Goliath's body; they can cause itching and irritation upon contact with the skin, so what the hunters usually do is hold them by their legs (where the hairs are fewer), and then just roast the spider over a fire so all the hairs are singed off, and then tuck in.

අම්මෝ ඒක😂

was going to say something like they don't need them but you win.

Damn.. you beat me to it. Just about to make a Geico joke too

@@bugloverspiderlover8490 it's a joke, which don't need to be super precise

@@brianisme6498 it's a joke, which don't need to be super precise

THAT WAS HORRIFYING LOL

I thought its paralysis was just so the prey can't move. I believe the Gecko can still feel the whole thing.

@@letsrank9349 I doubt it felt everything. I think ol’ gecko there died pretty quickly. Not only was it injected with venom, but it was injected directly into its face, which was then the first part that was devoured.

Actually, the giant Goliath bird eating spider has 2 inch fangs. Despite it's reputation of being a fearsome predator, among the natives of the region, it's considered a delicacy.

I was gonna say the same thing lol

Salome Geiser Looks like he's not getting 15% or more back on his auto insurance...

😂😂😂😂😂

LOL!!!

Salome Geiser I know right

The tarantula's eyes are cute lol

😭😭😭😭 facts

Probably made it less painful, not squirming and tearing it wider.

Two more holes

The fangs should be seen as a mercy killer that helps the prey die quicker. I can't imagine having your insides turned to soup by digestive enzymes feels very good...

Exactly what i was thinking

Oh no... I don't see any spider... *_IM SO SCARED!!!_*

Michael Smith true dat

It was filmed in captivity. They literally tossed that lizard in a tank with the spider. You cannot get footage like this in a huge rainforest. The chances of finding the spider in the first place are slim. That spider is captive bred.

@@madasahatter5514 Aye, spot on. Theraphosa are skittish. They'll notice you before you see them, and they'll dash out of there long before you've had a chance to even realise that they're there.

Hb

That is the most truest thing I’ve ever heard because I would have bounced seeing somebody getting that close

The world's nopeiest nope!

spider: "So get Allstate and be better protected from mehem like me"

Never thought of it like that🤔

Danny Schuerman he said hopefully

K Y wow lol

@Masterr Laster LMAO!!😂😂

If they look like that, you do.

K Y if ur a girl u have my blessings

Huntsman spider: oo look at what we got, tiny 11 inch spider

seebeyoundu The Goliath is bigger than the Huntsman in mass but yeah the Huntsman has a larger leg span.

@@heretic3047 imagine this spider with hunstman legs lol

Nope

It's the really quick ones that get ya.

My freind gabe taught me how to hold spiders Especially juming spiders im not afraid no more

They're actually gentle giants. Don't fear them, they're usually docile. Only be careful not to annoy one, they can kick hairs and apparently those are some of the worst urticating hairs of any tarantula. Itchy! But ofc, each individual has its own personality as well, some are less tolerant and some others won't ever try to kick

You think that’s bad their even bigger in Australia

I generally don’t mind spiders but this one gives me the heebie jeebies.

Ratimir Slavenski seconds later, he can't even reach his eye anymore

RIP Geico Insurance company

And then he got licked good by the spider.

Aw. His little fingers 😕.

For her birthday🥰

Hahaha! Dat would be great though!

I just got one three days ago and saw my ex (who I'm still friends with) yesterday. I showed her a picture of Shelob (I named her that for good reason), my ex said "nope, never hanging out at your place!" 🤣

True dat

Or send to me!

As sad as it is it's life the big girl gotta eat

Not really, it died pretty fast, it got its skull pierced.

@Blackout yh, it is

Yeah, but I prefer it dying in nature feeding another animal, fulfilling the circle of life than being squashed by a car or sneaking into a home and being killed by humans

That is at least reassuring ​@@n.g.s1mple29

I’m pretty sure that was worst than being on fire😂 your organs being digested in real time into slushee it’s probably not an amount of pain for that

Eyo hp fan here

Aragog was a wolf spider

Lucius Malfoy Draco nope,look at his eyes,he's a wolf spider!

How much do I save tho

Iggy Guardado $13,000

Spider: “Shhhhhh... you’re in good hands 😈”

Much more so than a Baboon spider. I hear those guys are pretty sketchy and have a mean bite. They are hella cool though

Bee Clair I agree...pretty wild!

IKR!!! :D

I'm actually terrified with the sound affects

Geez...lol, honestly they went a little overboard on the sound effects, all that damn squealing wasn't necessary.

Bee

lel

XD XD it was general insurance

spider: so get Allstate and be better protected from mehem like me.

That’s right! Getting bitten by a tarantula is about as painful as a bee sting

TrumpCat I got my hammer!

We need north Korea's nuclear bomb

Patty T no we don’t, we need the mother of all nukes. We need, the Tsar Bomba.

Father Torb perfect

No we need an anti matter bomb

Pardon?

@panfriedd NO WAY

Yeah it's a warning to things they perceive as threats. It is said to be the most irritating when it gets stuck to eyes. It's best to avoid trying to handling a tarantula when they do this, but if they don't and they don't run away it means that they trust you and you can approach them safely.

Mainly so called new world spiders that does that, "old world" spiders prefer The old reliable bite with more potent venom

HOL UP.....

😂😂

Then you'll get a flaming spider charging towards you.

Hate to spoil it but spiders can travel with the wind, that is why you can find spiders on inhabited tropical islands you normally would question how they got there to begin with.

Goliath Fucking Bird-Eating Spider can’t fly because if it could, it would have a different name entirely. We would call it “sir” because it would be the dominant species on the planet. None of us would leave the house unless a Goliath Fucking Flying Bird-Eating Spider said it was okay.

@Earth Server Admin 1 The big ones come from the South American rainforests. The only truly big spiders I know that come from Australia is the huntsman spider.

"It has a leg span of 11 inches." GODDAMN IT USE CENTIMETERS YOU ENTITLED AMERICAN! --My literal reaction

THE BEEFY BEEFPIE. Mine grew bigger bud in captivity you can keep them 25 years if female and the keep growing these sizes mentioned 11 inches are in the wild

John Beattie And bionics are for limbless types

Now does that 15 seconds start when the lizard runs or when the spider goes "Omnomnom!"?

Spider's don't hurt people unless they feel threatened. Most spider bites occur when you roll over on one in bed or something. They feel threatened

They're fangs, not claws.

​@@anonymoususer855 0:41

@@desbugfan8429 what?

@@blair5475 it says at that time, they're claws, not fangs.

Although it’s actually a little bit of a deceptive name; while capable of it, they’re not thought to feed on birds with any degree of regularity.

@@kirksealls1912 Yeah, they might opportunistically take down an infant bird, but most birds are too big for these guys to take down without a major risk of death. Lizards and mice are the biggest things they hunt regularly.

@@kemanorel3110 right, both a size issue, and also an opportunity issue. Unsurprisingly, tarantulas don’t fly, nor does any tarantula species - even the arboreal ones - leap from trees as a means of capturing their prey. Most tarantulas, including those of the Theraphosa genus, tend to wait at the mouths of their burrows and opportunistically take down prey that passes by. Therefore, it would have to be a bird walking along the rainforest floor, perhaps foraging for worms or the like, that found itself at the wrong place at the wrong time (either in front of the tarantula’s burrow, or otherwise near the tarantula if it does happen to be on a stroll away from its burrow). While this undoubtably occurs, it’s not thought to be a common occurrence, possibly especially given that tarantulas are nocturnal, while most if not all types of birds relatively likely to be eaten by tarantulas are diurnal (nocturnal birds tend to rely on their eyesight to identify prey from their perches up on trees, then swoop down for a quick attack; owls, for instance). Incidentally, the term “bird eater,” and its association with tarantulas (as well as “vogelspinne,” the German word for tarantula), originates from an illustration published by German naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian in 1705, who observed an arboreal tarantula feeding upon a bird up in a tree. Based on the illustration, the species appears to belong to what is now called the Avicularia genus (most likely Avicularia avicularia), which literally translates to “little bird eater,” the name of the genus being a direct reference to the illustration*. I’ve heard it asserted that while Merian’s claim that an inveterate like a spider could eat a vertebrae like a bird was initially accepted, it would later be questioned during the Victorian era, until “The Naturalist on the River Amazons” by Henry Walter Bates was published in 1863 and included the illustration, but I’ve yet to find any original source for this. *- Technically, the species name “avicularia” was a direct reference to the illustration (described in 1758), with the original genus name for that species being “Aranea;” however the genus Avicularia was later created in 1818, and in 1928 the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature officially declared the name of the type species for the Avicularia genus as Avicularia avicularia.

Nah the editing made it really show just how scary these goliaths are. If I saw one in real life I'd be a lot more scared so the editing actually didn't do it justice.

@@-DeathKnight Google says a sting hurts as much as a wasps and is not lethal to humans. Mosquitos are a bigger threat than any spider.

@@VivaLaRazsa that MF is the size of a dinner plate. F that

For real. Only thing one has to be scared of is those urticating hairs if you bother it too much. They say they're some of the worst in any tarantula. Just let the creature be or relocate it to a safer area and it'll be fine

that rat looking thing just got ate!

Don't worry. It would probably run away from you. They aren't that aggressive.

There's oodles of videos on ewwtube with Goliath owners, and some even handle them. They're like a lot of Tarantulas (new world that is) that are pretty easy to handle if acclimated to you and handled correctly. I've got a vid of handling a wild Arizona Blonde outside by the water tank inlet, and was a lovely experience. He just meandered over my hand and was calm as pickles.
