LOVE IT AS I LOVE ALL ARACHNIDS.

Well I did want to visit Australia. But drop bears and now this? I’ll stay in the southern US with our gators, giant roaches, and mosquitoes!

Beautiful birds. The ultimate lifer!

Australia is my personal Hell.

You numpties. There is an abundance of research well beyond your scope of knowledge!

what's a fardar? something about an online broom?

I hope hostile aliens land in Australia first.A ten minute stroll in any direction will convince them that this planet is way too dangerous.

Second favourite bird after the brown booby!

i was thinking of moving to Australia and then i learned about these mother fuckers and no i'm all good.

What a bunch of crock. I have had many huntsman spiders in my house. They about as common as anything. I even remember waking up in the morning to a huntsman on the wall next to my bed!

They're so beautiful~ What magical birds!

❤❤❤😊

I love all creatures no matter what horror-like features it got I understand all in nature has a purpose….but….nope….im walking 30 meter around…cool from a distance 🤗

I live in Sydney and I often have huntsman spiders in the house, but not as big as the one in the video. They're good to have around as they eat mozzies and other bugs around the house. They're also good at entertaining my cats. They will sit and watch them for hours.

Absolute nightmare

Huntsmen are cool cats. I took a high school trip to Bermuda and they “housed” all of us, boys and girls, on a small island, in these literal barracks with no windows…one enormous room for like 30 kids (made absolutely no effort to keep us from hooking up and doing every manner of thing kids our age should NOT have been doing lol). Anyway, there was a large huntsman who just hung out on the ceiling/wall the entire time we were there. It actually made for a great roommate. Didn’t bother us in the least and probably caught at least a few of the bugs that would’ve otherwise pestered us. Ever since then huntsmen have been on my list of awesome animals. Eight legged allies 🫡

Is this Bindy?

I live in Texas and I’m truly envious. The only thing that big is a cuddly wild tarantula and not very friendly.

I'm glad I saw this clip. I always thought Huntsman were venomous and a danger to people. I love spiders!

Fascinating! Yet they don't spin webs? Just wait for a meal to crawl to them.

I have never seen that species before!

Can whales rescue people

Fook that!!!

Caitlin: "If you see one of these in the wild it's a huge privilege." Me: Nah, I'll be too busy cleaning out my shorts.

I am glad that we do not have that poisonous snakes in austria xD

When we lived in Arizona out in the boonies. We used to have a lot of Arizona Blonde tarantulas around our koi pond. It’s the largest American tarantula. Very docile. You can let one walk on to your hand if you need to move it while gardening. You have to be careful you don’t aggravate it as can brush off prickly hairs which can get into your eyes I’ve heard. Handled many of these, never felt threatened. They have VERY large fangs. Great for eating scorpions and crickets. We used to drop crickets near their burrows- they must have thought of us as the food delivery service ;)

She is Awesome...a mother of Mother Nature.

I was hoping to see a green belly

0:15 she is playing it cool but you can see her arm is shaking. I am the guy who pay attention to every slightest details 😁

yeah right "they do not live inside"?? I had them twice on my back as they were hiding in the bathroom towels, so out of the shower throw the towel on my back and boom a huge huntsman on my back....

Yeah..... more teeth would be terrifying...... 💀

Like, if you're an arachnophobe and you're trying to cope😧😵‍💫🫣

Nope, you won't convince me with "gentle giant"

She is so super cute and super sweet ❤

How deadly is it

So beautiful <3

Of course it exists, and of course its from Australia 😂

I used to have a large rural property in northern nsw. Lots of rainforest. Am used to big huntsmans, but while setting fox traps, I saw one in the lantana - same as this one, but had a body MUCH bigger than a mouse. Took me by surprise, been living out bush all my life and never seen a spider that big.

No thank you.

She's trippin

Whoaahhh... what the heck...

Awesome work thanks.

If it somehow lays that damn 250 eggs in your house ,well then the house is not yours anymore its theirs

I don't know how these people do it. As much as I have gotten over my fear of spiders, by reading about them and learning about how interesting of a creature they are, I could never hold one of those in my hand-----why? Because of spiders like the funnel web, Brazilian wandering, brown recluse, and other dangerous spiders.🙄🙄

Fantastic to see your energy describing this girl.

The reason the video ended at that particular point is because had it played five seconds longer you would’ve seen the spider leap onto her face and bite her nose. 😂

Sure. Let me kill my eyes.

The Mist

i think the one that let the criket run under it's legs, is broken. or camera shy
