Australia's scariest spider is hiding a deep secret. But what is it? Well, introducing the huntsman, native to the land down under and the number one cause of tourists absolutely themselves on camera.
And look, in defense of said tourists, I will be the first to admit, yeah, this looks scarier than a job application. Those gangly ass legs and the hair make him look like Slenderman man's testicle. Now, as if having a negative charisma stat wasn't bad enough, I regret to inform you that the Huntsman spider grows up to 30 cm in size, making it the largest spider on the planet by legpan and legally allowing Subway to market him as a foot long.
Now, being the spider equivalent of a Ford F-150, you you'd think he'd have the common decency to be slow, you know, tank build. Um, unfortunately the huntsman ising turbocharged. Now, it's usually at this point in the video that I would inform you that he is also highly venomous because it's Australia.
However, that's his big secret. The huntsman is a big sweetheart. You see, despite looking like an SCP, huntsmen are incredibly timid.
And on the rare occasion they do bite, their venom is harmless. In fact, seeing one of these bad boys in your house is a blessing in disguise because if you see a huntsman in your home, I guarantee you won't see any annoying ass flies or mosquitoes because he's eaten them. You see, he understands he's big enough that he should be paying rent and so he contributes to the household in pest control.
I personally have had one of these bad boys as an eight-legged roommate, and I can tell you they're pretty good company, except for the part where they cause car crashes. Yeah. You see, huntsmen like to hide in tight spaces and cracks, and they do it by flattening out their body to fit into the gap.
Now, in the house, that usually means you'll just find them behind a painting. But uh when you're flying down the highway at 110k an hour and decide to flip down the sun visor because God is trying to flashbang you. Yeah.
They like to sleep in there and you've just dropped one into your lap.
