Goliath encounter: Puppy-sized spider surprises scientist in rainforest

errrr

how about we rework parts of this article



Goliath encounter: Horriffic Arse wipingly sized spider totally terrifies scientist in rainforest


Found in an ungodly location, one spider so large it makes even the most hardened Australian stop and mouth W. T. F.

Yet despite all that, the spider doesn't pose a threat to humans. Even if it bites you, "a chicken can probably do more damage," Naskrecki said.

bollocks says Bryce, reader from Brisbane.

Despite its name, the birdeater doesn't usually eat birds, although it is certainly capable of killing small mammals. "They will essentially attack anything that they encounter," Naskrecki said.

Examples include, wandering scientists, small children and programmers minding their own sodding business.

After catching the specimen he found in Guyana, which was female, Naskrecki took her back to his lab to study. She's now deposited in a museum.

Dead, as it should be.
