Piotr Naskrecki was taking a nighttime walk in a rainforest in Guyana, when he heard rustling as if something were creeping underfoot. When he turned on his flashlight, he expected to see a small mammal, such as a possum or a rat.

"When I turned on the light, I couldn't quite understand what I was seeing," said Naskrecki, an entomologist and photographer at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology.

A moment later, he realized he was looking not at a brown, furry mammal, but an enormous, puppy-size spider.

While it's not mentioned on his blog something tells me they heard the scream miles away  lol:

And people want one as a pet???  eeek: eeek:

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
