Spider 'the size of a small puppy' weighing more than 6oz with 2 inch fangs???? QuotePiotr 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 And people want one as a pet??? http://abcnews.go.com/Health/puppy-sized-spider-haunt-dreams/story?id=26344479http://www.livescience.com/48340-goliath-birdeater-surprises-scientist.html
