Oh pfft... we keep these as pets.


Ok, no... we don't, they're a damn scary spider. We really do have more than our fair share of deadly things down here, but we all seem to get along ok

No wonder Peter Jackson chose a funnel spider as the basis for how Shelob would look and act in The Return of the King. That thing is just freaky.

It's not cgi, have a look at the toe, it's a very fake foot.

When did National Geographic become so sensationalist?

Pretty interesting though.
