Sydney Funnel Web Spider - Aggressive Extremely Deadly & Beautiful

Ajouté le ven. 7 juin 2024 Animaux Rectangular HD

Our Cat Bubble made a interesting discovery in our outdoor Kitchen. A male Sydney Funnel Web Spider (Atrax robustus). This Funnel Web spider was trapped in the sink. It was mid May and it had been raining for 2 weeks. Sydney Funnel Webs are the most dangerous spiders in the world, they are aggressive and defend their ground by flaring up and preparing to bite via two huge fangs dripping in venom. A bite from a Sydney Funnel Web can kill a small child very quickly or a adult in as little as an hour. Since the early 1980's there has been an antivenom developed as a antidote to this spiders most deadly bite. In this video I capture the spider, compare it to the male Funnel Web I found last year and then deliver the spider to the Australian Reptile Park so it can be used in their venom milking program.

Guinness World Records has ranked the Sydney funnel-web spider as the world's most venomous spider, defining the term "most venomous" as "having the venom most toxic to humans"
