YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Scientists in Australia have discovered a spider that they've unironically nicknamed "Big Boy." This arachnid is a larger, more venomous version of the Sydney funnel web, known to be one of the world's deadliest spiders. The Australian Museum says 13 deaths from Sydney Funnel web spiders have been recorded, but none since the 1980s when the anti-venom was developed. Researchers believe this spider is nocturnal.
