Someone get the nukes ready burn it down all of it

I held a wild tarantula when I went to the amazon this summer. Nothing as big as that but it is weird remembering how calm I was about it considering I'm getting major chills looking at these photos. Same with the snakes

 

[TAJ]

Guys, a Goliath Bird Eater is harmless to you so long as you don't go poking or harassing it lol

Yeah, but poking it can happen by accident.
One time I stepped over a Western Diamondback (as big as they get, too) and didn't notice it until it was between my legs. I was somehow able to keep calm and nothing happened, (It didn't even start to coil.) but if I'd stepped on it instead... welp.

To be fair, a lot of things can puncture a mouse's skull. They're not exactly the tanks of the mammal world. And the mammal world is made up of soft squishy things to begin with.

I know, but that was horribly specific. And gave mental imagery of horrible things. Not to mention the "Guy" said it reared its fangs at him, which sounds even more horrifying given its size.

I don't know why spiders were given fangs of all things. It makes me hate them more....ewww

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

The oxygen is making these bugs grow big

 

[Jimothy]

It's weird that I'm actually way more scared of things like waterbugs and earwigs than spiders even though spiders are more potentially dangerous to me. If I see a spider in my house I usually just let it do it's thing and it doesn't gross me out. When I see a pest bug my heart starts racing and I my chest tightens up and I try to kill it as quickly as possible before I scream like a little girl.

 

[kutthoat5150]

Nope central

 

[Syriel]

I see South America is competing with Australia.

 

[FStop7]

I've there's one thing I've learned from shows like Survivorman it's that rainforests are terrifying. The entire place is basically a living organism that is trying to digest and absorb you into itself.

 

[A6M3]

nasty i would have killed that thing so fast

 

[XANDER CAGE]

For some reason I think small spiders are far more terrifying than huge ones. As soon as I can make out the eyes, they become positively cute to me.

 

[cajunator]

ITS SO CUUUUUUUUUUTE!

 

[immortal-joe]

Still can't get my head around the fact that people keep spiders as pets. PETS. Humanity jumped the fucking shark.

 

[Booshka]

Fascinating, really beautiful animal actually. South America and its biodiversity is amazing.

 

[exmachina64]

Torn between wanting to preserve the rainforest and kill every last spider.

 

[Replicant]

If there ever was a good reason to burn down forest, this would be it.

Think of it this way, they kill the really annoying, terrible insects that can also fly. Them being creepy is a necessary tradeoff to keep the really pesky airborne insects numbers in check. Same thing with Bats, another necessary evil.

 

[HK-47]

Thats the cutest snake I ever did see.

 

[Raiku]

Pls noooooooo

 

[Floridian]

I actually find the big hairy spiders quite cool. The only creepy ones too me are the ones like black widows. Thin terrifying ones.

Maybe im just mad though. I also find baby snakes adorable

Baby snakes are the cutest things. Spiders are the other hand are not.

I love bats. I hate spiders.

At my current apartment, banana spiders camp outside during the warmer months.

Well I mean they're potentially more useful than cats.

I know you're joking, but I live in the U.S. Our bats aren't flying around spreading Marburg and Ebola.

Dark Souls 2 says Hello.

But really, it was probably a smaller version of Jba Fofi AKA Congolese Spider
Unfortunately these fall under the category Cryptozoology so it is not 100% concrete that they do exist, but there are villages and truly believe giant spiders (tarantulas to be more exact) exist. Some build their huts to protect against them and claim they can be as large as a really big dog, capable of eating other large dogs and smaller humans. I did some research and found a documentary on Monster Hunters and alas there was nothing conclusive. But in theory they do exist, so be fearful gaf.... be Fearful.

Whoa!

The J'ba Fofi is described as having a brownish body similar to that of a tarantula, with a legspan of four to six feet. Juvenile versions possess yellow coloring that turns brown as they grow older.

Holy fucking shit!

British cinematographer Richard Terry travelled to the Amazon to investigate reports of giant spiders in the June 13th episode of Man V Monster. At a remote village he was informed that giant spiders lived in holes deep within the jungle and measured roughly four feet in diameter.

Nope.

 

[Mascot]

Just slowing down for a quick drive-by "spiders are fucking awesome".

 

[Nodnol]

See, despite all spiders creeping me out, Tarantulas are the ones I'm least scared of.

The worst thing is not knowing where they are; don't rally have that problem with something the size of a dinner plate.

If you don't preserve the rainforest, these fuckers are going to migrate to human habitats. If anything, let's figure a way to expand the rainforest to give them plenty of space.

Facehuggers are real.

Yeah, swarm of huge ass spiders just doesn't do it for me. Swarm of mini spiders creep the hell out of me... They can get everywhere!
