I would have liked a day/night cam clipped to show it jumping out at a grasshopper or something instead of the manhandling. I'm tired of nature videos where people have to pet the shark, ride the whale and so on. Poor thing.
Generally speaking though it'll only liquify if the insect or animal it bites won't stop it for the next several minutes - hours depending on the size and how hard it is to liquify the inside so no worries. We're too big that it won't have the venom to liquify us and will take too long before it even liquifies us.
Imagine never leaving your hole for whole damn life, even after having a clutch of babies and watching them leave one by one, and then suddenly getting pulled out in the blink of an eye and being told how fascinating you are for 5 minutes
I owned one of these when I kept tarantulas. Bad thing is I didnt know it was illegally sold at a pet shop. I kept her for 7 years. I used floral foam and drilled a small hole in a block of it. She dug down into the substrate and I literally only seen her pop out for her food. Had just glimpses of how big she really was. Oh, and she was one of the fastest spiders I have ever seen. Faster than Baboons, faster than "Pokeys". And she was one scary looking spider.
I mean if a giant stick burst through your door and yanked you out and there was something 200 times bigger than you staring at you I imagine you would probably sit there in terror.
Well, some invertebrates are actually immortal, like Turritopsis dohrnii, a jellyfish. Others have a really diverses lifespans, there are marine snails that lives more around eighty years, (Lobatus gigas) while others just one.
I just love when people are so knowledgeable and respectful towards animals, subscribed because this man just genuinely seems to want to share his knowledge with the world and I now have a newfound respect for the Trapdoor Spider!
@@franciscobutte I wouldn’t try to play the hero here - The African trapdoor spider is infamously cannibalistic. Many of its young serve as food, so, those that leave the nest early are often better off.
That’s also why he said her young being there was a good sign she was home. Her young being there is a steady food supply if no prey comes along, of course she’s home.
I love how despite getting yanked out of her home, she just sits there, not knowing what is going on, it didn’t even show much aggression at all, nor did it not flinch when this person lifted her up to show its fangs
Imagine the stories she'll tell her kids. "One time a giant knocked on the door and dragged me out, then he told me how incredible and smart I am put me back into the house and cleaned the doormat." I love spiders and this guy just wanted to pet her, bless him
Rocky Rider u must not know but all animals have different “gestation” periods, humans for example is 9 months. That’s why I think you think it’s 9 months they’ve been in there. But animals such as rabbits are only pregnant for about a month before giving birth. I bets it’s way shorter for a spider, probably only a couple weeks
@@imageez bahahaha she's a busy mom but also she's low key afraid of the giant alien in front of her who gesticulates wildly so she's nice and waits for him to leave.
Her beautifully constructed cylindrical house has a lid with a hinge on it. It looks like a pvc pipe 😱 Recently I saw a hummingbird nest and I couldn’t believe how well it was constructed.

Some of us can’t even assemble a furniture that comes with a full instruction with.
Well, plot twist: He is the IRS and the female spider did not pay the spider taxes so an Spider IRS sent him to break down the door since the spiders were not able to.
Respect??? He broke into her house, dragged her outside, gave a lecture while pointing at her and touching her inappropriately. Oh, and don't forget, he recorded the entire thing for the whole world to see.
Have you ever met/handled a big spider in reality? I hate small spiders but when I have ran in to larger ones I wasn't afraid of them for some reason. I was actually quite scared I was going to hurt it as they're very light for their size, which makes them seem fragile.
I hate mosquitos and other blood sucking bugs, which is why I like spiders a lot. It also helps my home country doesn't sport any spiders that would be dangerous to humans.
Hello! Fellow arachnologist here! What he is meaning, is the venom itself wont instantly kill their prey. Their venom has a paralyzing trait that will almost instantly paralyze their prey after being dragged in the tunnel. The paralyzing trait works very quickly, allowing the spider to liquidate the insides of the animal for consumption.
Meep Moop Does it paralyze them by dissolving any movable tissue in their body or is it a cocktail of chemicals where there’s nerve agents and caustic material?
@@Docklead there is a neurotoxin in the venom that goes straight to the brain of the prey, which shuts down all brain waves and blood travel, paralyzing the insect/animal
She was very docile and patient, even as she kept getting pushed around she wasn’t feeling any urge to bite at the stick, She was probably more confused than anything else as to why she was just baited outside of her home
it's also very exhausting on mother spiders when they lay eggs and they hatch so its possible she was far too exhausted to do much and just hoped whatever it was would either leave or kill her and leave the babies would be my guess.
Part of the reason she’s so docile and not moving is she is nocturnal, like he said in the video. Nocturnal animals are slow and easily confused during the daytime, partly to save energy. They basically enter sleep mode and can’t fully wake up. That’s probably also why she didn’t close the trap door which they ALWAYS do at night. Really fantastic video
this is a big UFFF for me... all i remember was the fact that a lot of spiders are with there babys all the time. she looked extremly exhausted. but makes sense and is a much better ending than shoving a dead spider back to her babys.

@@slowfudgeballs9517 How would he know if they were the proper size to let out if he didn't disturb the nest first? I think he would have let them go regardless.
Nature often produces wonders beyond human capabilites. spider silk alone is a great example. Gotta think though, that trap door is more like a submarine hatch, as even with it being Africa, when it does rain, it will need a water tight seal so her and her eggs/babies dont drown. pretty crazy.
The door is tapered ,the hole is tapered too , no tape measure, no blueprints, just the instinct that God gave her, and it is repeated through the generations of old, wow, hallelujah.
if you suffered from severe arachnophobia you wouldnt even consider being on this video and if you opened it, you would instantly close it so no, you don't
I am terribly scared of spiders but this guy was so calm narrating while she was right there. She was also just stating still being a good interviewee untill scuttling back in the hole. Still don’t want to use the word cute but watching this was rather nice

lol she's happily letting him teach everyone about her and her life how cute !
I know! She was way more gentle and patient than i thought she’d be! ❤️
She is just shocked and is playing dead
She was just woken up, dragged out into the bright sunlight, and is prolly scared stiff.
Not sure how happy she might be but it’s cool either way
That's not what's happening. It couldn't care less about teaching anyone anything. It simply wanted to avoid danger as much as possible
The kids saw their chance to get out of the house and go party with their friends 😆. Very interesting spider.
I hate it how my body feels itchy while watching these, but I never stop watching them
Thats because a spider is on u be careful 😥
@@BoleDaPole ohh u were right, I just killed it :)

I'm dead xD

Spider:who the hell is this
Him:pets it
Spider:okay this relaxing but should i bite him

@@PeterGriffin-bi3sg With many others but not this particular spider.

"They will stay in that hole for their whole life."

This guy doesn't even show a single sign of fear.
Well why would he? This is his profession. Hes not some guy who never goes out in the wild with some irrational fear of spiders otherwise he wouldnt be opening up the things home
Neither does the spider

Yo dude it’s a bug
He sounds Australian so he's used to everything trying to kill him.
Graham that was so informative, and props to you for being gentle with the old mom spider, and putting her carefully back in her and her kids (for now) home!
The amount of respect this guy showed and had for this creature most of us would consider insignificant or a pest is extremely admirable. His level of knowledge is appreciated. Especially him sharing it with the world outside of a paying institution or money wall.
what do you mean respect? he is breaking someone else door
@@skarhabekgreyrukh8601 for real, the mom was like "my babies are just running loose now, thanks" it was rude. I feel like we could be just as easily entertained without having to disturb creatures like this. Idk why he mentions so often that it spends it's entire life underground, only to disturb it for little reason.
@@ComradeCatpurrnicus He said the babies leave the nest at that size so it doesn't matter. They'd escape when she opened the hatch next.
@@slowfudgeballs9517 How would he know if they were the proper size to let out if he didn't disturb the nest first? I think he would have let them go regardless.
@@ComradeCatpurrnicus I don't really know, I just heard him say they usually leave the nest at this size.
So fascinated with how shut that door is.. perfectly rounded and all. Like it almost looks so man-made.
Nature often produces wonders beyond human capabilites. spider silk alone is a great example. Gotta think though, that trap door is more like a submarine hatch, as even with it being Africa, when it does rain, it will need a water tight seal so her and her eggs/babies dont drown. pretty crazy.
Did u know spider silk is bulletproof only different type this one has a strong web
God's creation is pretty cool
The door is tapered ,the hole is tapered too , no tape measure, no blueprints, just the instinct that God gave her, and it is repeated through the generations of old, wow, hallelujah.

It didn't seem like she wanted to go back down there to her 50 children.
I wouldn’t either

I suffer from severe arachnophobia but I will say that spiders are quite amazing creatures.
I know. What’s really not to like about this video?
Lol americans have been pussified
Same
I know right
if you suffered from severe arachnophobia you wouldnt even consider being on this video
and if you opened it, you would instantly close it
so no, you don't
This is such an amazing spider. I am very impressed by its engenuity, what a interesting arachnid.
I am afraid of spiders, yet, for some reason, this video was fascinating, felt spiders on my back for the whole day, but, fascinating, worth it.
bruh i have that feeling rn and i hate it-
Same I once woke my step dad up at two in the morning because a little spider it’s a joke realy

I am terribly scared of spiders but this guy was so calm narrating while she was right there. She was also just stating still being a good interviewee untill scuttling back in the hole. Still don’t want to use the word cute but watching this was rather nice
"So rude of me. Shoulda knocked first." Proceeds to break in to the spider's home...which isn't rude at all.
So no one is gonna talk about how the mf'er just pet the spiders back? Aight..

Him: *pets spider* hey girl!
The spider: hey you doing a documentary? Cool
Fascinating that she just sits there as he talks. No attempt to hide back in her trap door, no attempt to run, no attempt to attack. Guess because they have no strategy for humans, so the spider had literally no clue what to do?
Also sleepy
