Harvard zoologist Piotr Naskrecki was taking a nighttime walk in a rainforest in Guyana when he happened upon a rare Goliath birdeater spider.

That just sounds like a bad idea.

Since you asked for it...

Maybe if I had one of those, it'd keep the neighbors' dogs off our lawn. (And everybody else, for that matter!) :shocked:

I read it as a 6oz spider. Since when does a puppy weigh 6oz.

Just talk to this guy, I'm sure he can help...

"They will essentially attack anything that they encounter," Naskrecki said.

Common tarantulas weigh like 2-3 oz. So we're talking twice the size of a normal tarantula. That's pretty ******* big.

Nice. Not creepy at all.

"Its feet have hardened tips and claws that produce a very distinct, clicking sound, not unlike that of a horse's hooves hitting the ground,"
