Picture's highly exaggerated, it's not much larger than most Tarantulas and it's quite a popular spider for home terrariums.
Thing's not rare, horribly dangerous or ginormous in the slightest.
That's it.
The truth. The pics in the op are just camera angle tricks.
I want one, or a couple of those.
The one in the OP is a whole lot bushier though, so I'd imagine that it's still bigger than the one in your pic.

Normally I find this kind of stuff weird and sort of sadistic to film but that music killed me omg. So perfectly timed too.

Even at a deceptive angle the one in the op is clearly larger, just going by its proportions.Picture's highly exaggerated, it's not much larger than most Tarantulas and it's quite a popular spider for home terrariums.

The picture with the guy's hand looks a lot like a forced perspective shot.

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

Reminds me of my ball pythons.

You're asking what a spider called the South American Goliath birdeater eats?

He entered their domain, he would have had only himself to blame if it consumed him.

It's the large spiders to don't have to worry about. It's the small spider that fuck you over.

The largest spider is in vietnam or china or something actually:
Poecilotheria Rajaei (shit name tbh) look it up.

I hate spiders but this thing is pretty cool IMO.
That one in Australia with the bird in its web is the scary one.

The Goliath is second largest in terms of leg span to the giant huntsman, apparently.

That was the first thing I thought of upon entering this thread, only to get an eye full of gigantic life de-affirming spider

Welp cross rain forests of f the list of places I should be in.
The article explicitly states that it doesn't eat birds as often as its name implies. It seems to prefer eating earthworms and rodents.
I own a Theraphosa stirmi which is very close to the blondi pictured in the article. If I'm lucky she will get to around a 10" diagonal leg span, any other Theraphosa genera that gets larger than that is rare. Their venom is actually not nearly as potent as a lot of the other tarantulas, especially compared to the Poecilotheria.
