World's Largest Spider
The goliath birdeater tarantula of South America is arguably the biggest spider in the world. Watch as one hapless mouse wanders into a spider's deadly trap, and see the unusual adaptations that make the goliath one of nature's deadliest ambushers.
The natives of this region hunt and eat these spiders. It is said that the taste of these spiders are similar to crabs since spiders are in the crab family.
