REASONS WHY SPIDERS ARE EXTREMELY TERRIFYING BUT INTERESTING

IN JUST 2 DAYS, A TARANTULA CAN COMPLETELY

LIQUEFY THE BODY OF A SMALL MOUSE

LEAVING NOTHING BUT SKIN AND BONES

ALTHOUGH AUSTRALIA IS KNOWN FOR DANGEROUS

ANIMALS, THE LAST TIME SOMEBODY DIED OF A

SPIDER BITE ON THE CONTINENT WAS IN 1981

THE "FACT" THAT AN AVERAGE PERSON EATS 4

SPIDERS DURING THEIR LIFETIME (WHILE SLEEPING)

IS BOGUS. MOST PEOPLE WILL NEVER CONSUME A

SPIDER AND THE AVERAGE IS MOST LIKELY VERY

CLOSE TO 0. THE REASONS FOR THIS ARE LARGELY

BIOLOGICAL. SPIDERS ARE VERY UNLIKELY TO EVER

SEEK SHELTER IN A HUMAN MOUTH

ALONG WITH SNAILS AND LOBSTERS, SPIDERS HAVE

BLUE BLOOD. THIS IS DUE TO A HIGH COPPER CONTENT.

MOST SPIDERS LIVE FOR ONLY 1 YEAR, BUT SOME

TARANTULAS CAN LIVE FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS

IF YOU ARE SCARED OF SPIDERS THEN YOU ARE

MORE LIKELY TO FIND A SPIDER IN YOUR ROOM.

THIS IS SIMPLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT SOMEONE

WHO ISN'T AFRAID OF SPIDERS MIGHT NEVER NOTICE

THAT THERE WAS EVEN A SPIDER NEAR THEM

EVERY SPECIES OF PEACOCK SPIDER HAS ITS

OWN COURTSHIP DANCE

SPIDER SILK IS ALMOST 5 TIMES STRONGER

THAN STEEL (POUND FOR POUND)
