  • 0:08 I just love classical threat posture of the King Baboon Tarantula (Pelinobius muticus) :D Truly is a classical species to own in today's Tarantula hobby :D

  • If I see a 1 foot wide spider I'm fucking killing myself

  • "The Goliath makes its home in the remote rainforests of South America"

    *scratches trip to South American rainforests off of list of potential summer vacations this year*

  • 219 Tarantulas are eaten by Louis...

  • That is one massive unit!

  • @mripodjunior the funnel web is very very deadly but its venomous bite isnt as deadly as the black widow...id worry more about the box jellyfish in austri than a funnel

  • wow its really big. 

  • I have a greenbottle blue tarantula, its as friendly as a dog

  • Excuse me wonderlandsexx, the Sydney funnel web is by far the most venomous and ultimately deadly spider in the world.

  • KILL IT WITH FIRE!

  • watch the beginning in 3d

  • They the biggest but not deadly but black widow is the deadliest

  • Cute :D

  • Is anybody else not at all remotely afraid of Tarantulas but actually terrified of lesser spiders? Such as wolf spiders?

  • man can u wake up all of a sudden that thing is straight at you

  • @TheShadyfan23 ya it like my mom when I don't get up for school on time :\

  • did anyone else sit with their legs up watching this vid

  • "Can get up to a foot long.." My Reaction: WHAT? fucking one foot? Damn South America! One foot! Fucking Subway Sandwich Long! Sandwich Mother Fucker!? O: (Im not even ghetto >.>)

  • Well umm I would be more freaked out if I was bitten by that then a bee, in fact I think I would faint from horror. That's probally y people r a bit more reluctant to b bitten by a turantula then a bee or wasp

  • Chuck Norris puts this tarantula over his head and laugh hysterically

  • @ashdramin not at all.

  • Nope. Still fear.

  • i feel so so so for the camerman

  • DAM NATUH!!! U SCURRY!!!

  • that thing is awesome

  • HOW THE FUCK DID I GET HERE!!??

  • @M1KENDO Because you wanted to write an un-fucking funny overused comment. Congratz.

  • @RockhawkGaming yes, yes i do

  • i have a pet one

  • cool

    

  • I'm going to kill that thing in skyrim

  • A foot long tarantula???

  • CAMPER!!!! NOOB!!!!!

  • I just can't get over the raw power and beauty in nature. Such an astounding creature.

  • @RockhawkGaming hell yeah dude

  • Aww i fucking love tarantulas <3

  • @Ashdramin I did too! It was my pet rat. Lol

  • Am I the only one feeling paranoid, as if something is crawling over my skin while watching this video?

  • for me its the legs and tat big ass thing in its back tat shoots its web tat creep me out of a spider

  • when i was in oklahoma for basic training in the national guard, we were out camping and we were in tents. a guy walked in and dumped a tarantula out of his canteen onto one of the cots. i let it crawl up my arm, i loved it. later on i noticed there were a few guys standing in a circle dumping water into a small hole. i noticed they were antagonizing a tarantula. i was like, you assholes, and i gently grabbed it out of the hole and put it in the bushes. i never got bit. never thought i would

  • f**** chuck norris!!!! wat the hell does he have to do with ANYTHING?!?! please someone tell me why chuck norris is mentioned all the fucking time!!!?

  • @TheEliteCarlos Started as a series of comically exaggerated anecdotes about Chuck Norris' feats of badassery, and evolved into an annoying meme.

  • I am DEATHLY afraid of spiders but I love Tarantulas...

  • :areyoufuckingkiddingme:

  • Its legs look like robin williams fingers...

  • my god people. You are afraid of a spider? It isn't lethally venomous and not highly aggressive. sure, they're huge, but does size matter? People like Horses. Those are bigger than us...

    If I saw one of those, I'd pick it up and marvel at it for awhile. It's an amazing creature and deserves respect.

  • @bob84676 One thing: That's what she said.

  • @bob84676 Its not the venom, and its not the size, (the smaller ones freak me out worse). Its the eyes and the way they eat, not the fangs, but the actual mouth. Also the feeling of them rubbing my skin with their furry butts kinda makes me twitch. But that's what gloves are for. To be honest I would rather handle a sweet old T than a zippy little garden spider. (I know where the T is and its not as easy to loose them, a garden spider can get away and crawl in my mouth while I sleep)

  • but i am not gonna take my spiders with my hand when it is not nessecary.not because i am afraid,but because it will give them stress.i give them a nice place and food and i used them for readings at school.and also animalparcs.a spider is not for to show off at people,but to study and then you will see how facinated they are!i give them a good life and that's the most importend thing.greets from belgium

  • in books you can read that a grammostola rosea is a beginnerspider and a theraphosa blondi(goliath)is very agressive.i had a blondi who was not agressive and i have a grammostola rosea who is verry agressive.it's like dogs,they say a maltezer is not agressive and a rottweiler is agressive.i know maltezers that bite they ower and rottweilers that are verry kind.every animal has they own caracter.when i have a spider i see what caracter has he!

  • it's because a criquet can hurt the spider,they can bite also!and when they bite a spider,then she can bleed to dead.that's way they are so quick to take a criquet!

    when a spider fall ,they can be dead,because off the presure on the back.(abdomen).so she's always looking out for danger.i have those spiders and i can say ,d'ont believe everything they say!and the agressivity on species is also not always true

  • the first one is a avicularia species.they live at trees,it's a treespider(boomspin) ,and i also see a grammostola rosea,a lasiodora parahybana,and one looks like a young blondi.the birdspiders (like the ones on this film)cannot see verry well,but the tarantula's they can see mutch better.they are not monsters like the woman on the film wanted you to believe.

    they just protected themself and are quick to take a criquet,but that is not because they are agressive!!!!

  • nat.geo how can you make a mistake like this,this is not a tarantula but a birdspider(vogelspin in dutch).the tarantula is a wolfspider and belong to the labidognata or real spiders,the birdspider like this belong to the orthognate!!!

    for example a lycosa spider is a wolfspider .they have 4 big eyes and 4 little and the birdspider like this ,have also 8 eyes but they have 6 very tiny and two a little bit bigger.

  • I cant look away..

  • I actually moved away from my screen....

  • is horrible!!!!!

  • Chuck Norris eats that thing in the morning!

  • @FelicidadeNoMeuPeito Just me or this hole Chuck Norris is like okey! jaja, move on ?, maybe its just me...

  • @FelicidadeNoMeuPeito i think you mean bear grylls.

    please tell me im not the only one getting annoyed :D

  • @Gingerorla fuck you

  • @Gingerorla Agreed, another one is "If youre listening to this in 2011 thumbs up" or How many thumbs down the video has, they made a "funny" "joke" about it

    216 people likes rats

  • @Gingerorla Dont look at the comments then, then you wont be annoyed. simple

  • tarantulas are always in chill mode.

  • It's not the biggest. They have Spiders in the Caribbeans that are bigger than a small dog. This tarantula is nothing compared to what I've seen. They had one at the museum when I was living down there in Florida.

  • my pet! well not that t but i have a rose hair! <3 tarantulas

  • why am I here?

  • @MrClayCummings Because tarantulas are awesome.

  • burn those motherfuckers!!

  • I had two tarantualas. They are so awesome. Shame people are afraid of them. I was never bit by either one. And they love to crawl on you. And hide in your hair. :o)

  • I love tarantulas, its a shame that so many people are scared of them.

  • Listening to tarantula while watching this...

  • fuck my life

  • lol kung fu style xD

  •  It's actually 2 vids he did that have the cute jumping spiders. Just search "spider being cute" and both vids will show up.

  • Omg, they're so cute!!

  • @mislabeledracoon What you don't know, is that your tarantula is crawling out of an opening in the glass every night, and violating you and your family while you're all asleep. Bet you didn't know THAT was happening.

  • Im itchy! :(

  • 1:36 :((((

  • kill it with fire

  • Like fuck it's gonna feel like a bee sting if you bit by that thing. I'm surprised it hasn't raped me through the screen!

  • Fascination my ASS!!

  • forget about the OBT much

  • no its the centemus ilnamus centura is the most dedliest of them all

  • DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY

  • that first 5 seconds is literally my worst nightmare.... like ive had nightmares EXACTLY like that

  • @TeChNiQuEVx6 if it's upside down, it's molting, but my spider has molted upright before. Take out any crickets or food if it's molting, and just let it do what it needs. I hope this is helpful enough. :)

  • ang galin na SpiKi

  • guys if i buy a spider and it starts to moult, how do i know ?????? and if it doesnt move shall i leave it alone because ill be worried and wont know what to do with it :*(

  • permission to shit my pants please

    

  • how could they film this... i always wonder...

  • @mathozero they take a goliath spider put it in a terrarium ,put the camera on the log (im explaining the first scene) and put a cricket or a mouse on the camera then he will come!

  • Fuck! I jumped off the chair when I saw the first one, these fucking things are fear winding

  • i held a tarantula the other day. it was quite friendly and sat on my hand, apparently enjoying the warmth. It was very nice and fluffy and quite placid.

  • yo creo que las tarantulas son las arañas mas interesantes de la vida

  • i'm petrified of this... and i keep telling myself how cute they are to calm myself down rofl.

  • omg one time when i was 6 i was taking out the trash and i saw a huge tarantula coming out the garbage can i was like WHHHAT THE FUUCK!!.

  • @fergus247 no dumbass, they are the biggest arachnids, after 1000 years of researching animals its pretty evident that humanity has discovered almost every species of everything on earth, the only things we havent found everything of yet is underwater life...fucktard

  • didnt know till after being bitten same as those with allergy to wasp stings im told the spider carries venom with which to kill or stun its prey it ijects the venom which turns the flesh to a pulp which the spider then drinks like soup its that damage that causes the problem and if its a nerve or muscle that suffers the bite then u get the problem they told me that most poeple dont suffer any recation at all other than being stung bi wasp etc but she s mad on spiders and has 4 .

  • @army2409 the venom paralyzes them
