You can't get much spookier than this spider, the largest of all spiders. It's legs alone get be up to a foot long, and it's so hairy and creepy and…. I need to stop.
On this episode, you'll learn about this tarantula's defense mechanisms—including its ability to spew barbed hairs at its enemies, the creepy thing female spiders do to their would-be mates, and lots more.
