Remind me to never go there
Ive been having nightmares about a big spider 😢😮
I raise tarantulas 🖤🕷️🖤🕷️🖤🕷️🖤
I just see this expedition ending up like Arachnophobia the film.
I Hate Spider
I remember watching this show, I wish they would bring the show back…
Monsterquest search for giantess
Realistically wouldn't the square cube law render any spider unable to
grow to the size of an inostrancevia ?
I have Arachnophobia
This is not history, It’s BS.!!!!!!!
What a silly show.
I always believed on the side of realism and these things don't exist but it's also fun to imagine what could be
Eew he eating spider 😮😢
Mouse or rodent
when natives say, "yes we have monsters here." what they mean is, hey white man come and spend thousands of dollars in our villages
I hate spiders!
It would be terrifying to see a spider the size of a human
I remember camel spiders man those things could move! 30 mph across the pavement easy. You throw water on them and it basically paralyzes them for a couple seconds. Mainly they eat lizards and stuff.
If I’d been going into the jungle after spiders big enough to make off with dogs, I’d have been packing a 10mm.
camel spiders only grow 6 inches long (including legs) -the picture of the soldiers holding a huge one are fake
This is nightmare fuel for some people.
Why would they search for giant spiders where none have been reported?
I've had pet wolf spiders and tarantulas that were as big or bigger than any that were shown in this video.
We always seem to fear or hate what we don't understand.
HISTORY CHANNEL DO EVERYONE A FAVOR WHEN YOU FIND THE BIG SPIDER THEN PRESENT THE DOCUMENTARY , JUST LIKE YOUR ALIEN DOCS , ALL YOUR DOING IS IS PRESENTING NONSENSE , WISE UP ! A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD BOY COULD DO BETTER !
Inside some caves if you go far enough you may find some passages which lead to really large spiders of 2 meters and lost tribes at troglodite level.
And it is NOT fantasy.
""" TARANTULA""" 1955 Movie with famous Sci Fi Star John Agar and English Actor Leo Carroll as the Scientist experimenting with nuclear iodine on plants and animals to make them grow bigger to feed earths growing population. Also Clint Eastwood made his first movie as that Sabre Jet Pilot dropping Napalm on the Giant Tarantula. Also another good one was the 1958 Sci Fi movie """EARTH VS THE SPIDER""" stars Mr Ziffel from Green Acres and the actor who played the TV show Capt Video.
Its impossible for any Insect to reach the size like it once did tens of Millions of years ago because how the planets atmosphere has changed ,however Reptiles,( Alligators,Crocodilles, Lizards Komodo Dragons) Cephalopods( Squids /Octopus)and Mammals can still reach Giant size,including Fish /Sharks
I would be more worried about Fire Ants and possibly Giant Pythons. There is a species of not Spiders but Scorpions that are even larger than any Tarantula but I believe they live in the Jungles of either southeast Asia like Cambodia or Vietnam or possibly the Jungles of New Guinea or that large island off the coast of Africa ,Madagascar. But because of their size they move very slow. There also very dark in color, like black greenish.
Giant Alligators or Crocodiles over 30 feet long,"""POSSIBLE""", Giant Squids up to 50 feet long, """YES""' markings on Sperm Whales found and actual Dead rotting corpses of them found that big , Giant Bears larger than regular Grizzly Brown or Polar Bears, """YES""" , Giant Sharks or Great Whites over 20 feet, very """POSSIBLE""", Spiders/Tarantulas the size of a man, """IMPOSSIBLE"""unless we travel back in time to 150 Million Years BC
If I was hunting for spiders and lifting rocks I'd be wearing like an astronaut suit. They crazy for doing this in sandles and no gloves.
Yeah no kidding🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 """EVEN A TANK COULDN,T CROSS THOSE LOGS""" why did you think your 4×4 could make it across??????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Don,t they have that Chupacabra thats in that area also, plus Giant Panthers, Giant Flying Reptiles, Giant Ape Man, 80 Foot Giant Anacondas, Man size Piranha ,s????🤔🤔🤔🤔
The problem with Giant Spiders is that they have book lungs. At a certain size of a creature with book lungs would quick suffocate cause the book lungs wouldn't be able to provide enough oxygen to support the animal.
A spider the size of a car attacked buffalo , horses, and one Grizz killing them instantly.
A spider the size of a car attacked buffalo , horses, and one Grizz killing them instantly.
Arachniphobia all over again
Old episode, new title
These ladies are very brave, to lift rocks looking for camel spiders in the desert.. I appreciate people that work in these kind of fields to investigate and find answers to critters and creatures that most people would run from like myself.. i could NEVER do anything like this, not for all the money and power in the world!!
I saw big foot barbecuing a giant spider but my camera was stolen by space aliens.
😢 My tarantula died this year, we had her for 26 years. My youngest son is 24, he's never known a time without her.
