Incredible Spiders

• Watchlist

This incredible family comes armed with eight legs and eight eyes, and after millions of years they've evolved even more bizarre behaviors and features that will make your skin crawl. They're nature's super survivors and thrive in deserts, jungles, and even under water. Incredible Spiders come in different sizes and unusual colours, some have hair, some build webs and some have sticky legs to catch prey! Here we take a look at the hunters and jumpers and engineers and dancers, they're some of the most fascinating spiders on Earth...The Golden Orb builds a giant web over a meter wide and its silk is the strongest known natural material on the planet. The Golden Baboon spider lives in an underground burrow and lays silk trip wires to alert it to moving prey on the surface! The Jumping spider can jump over half the length of a football field to catch its flying prey, and the Fishing spider runs on water. But it's the Goliath tarantula that is the most frightening. With a leg span of over 30 centimeters it's the biggest spider on the planet, and will eat almost anything it can find. They're a mixture of weird and wonderful and scary and colourful... These are the Incredible Spiders!
