Your evolutionary claims are a lie.
Why i am getting kamasutra add on this vid😂
You've show 2 different spiders and classified them both as funnelnwebs, 1 is a wolf spider the other is a funnel web, 1 will kill you the other won't.. get this video down before you mislead people
The most deadliest spider is the agressive phoneutria fera or armadeira of Brazil.
And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. -John 3:16
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.
-Acts 3:19
Huh Snake Serum Gold Experience.
No wonder Australians love their flip flops. So convenient knowing your shoes won’t have these monsters on them.
Seeing one of the spiders being listed as being caught in 'Warimoo' is terrifying as it is literally within walking distance of my house and where I walk my dog!
eveloution does not exict
POV- what yt recommends me when I'm eating
Crazy how the best way to cure or stop the venom killing you is to milk the animal etc. Then make the antibodies. Also mad how it’s only effective against certain species, just as well as I bet a fair few dogs are bitten, and the spider confused then why it doesn’t die etc.
after watching this i just cancelled my flight to sydney 😂
"The males are 6 times more toxic" Nice, another woke propaganda video… /s
Somebody must've pissed of this breed of spiders for a very long time. You don't fuXk with evolution! 😉
Strange that these spiders' poison is so well adapted for humans. Some Old-World apes have been known to hunt big spiders. You'd think spiders in Africa or Asia would have this adaptation.
I never knew they only lived in one area.
Do they turn you into spider man?
I love the video ❤❤❤❤
That’s not a funnel web spider where you marked one
Spiderman wouldn't approve.
shudder Nope. Nope, nope, nope.
Now let’s just take Ron Weasley here.
"We only milk the males because they are six times more toxic." I had to laugh 😂
That snake milk shot was insane
Can we finally drop the evolution crap?
0:31 is a WOLF spider
They never explained what's so funny about their webs… 🙁
0:30 that’s actually a Funnel-Weaving spider. They’re a modern (araneomorph) spider, that are more closely related to wolf and fishing spiders. Whereas Funnel-Webs are primitive (myglamorph) spiders closely related to Trapdoor Spiders and Tarantulas. Hope this clears up some confusion.
well thank you for telling about it but I AM DEFINTELY STAYING AWAY FROM EVERYTHING CAUSE I THINK THERE IS SPIDERS
Big fangs on that spider
So cruel 😢 amagine someone putting you in a box that you can hardly move in, so that they can poke you about, all in the name of curiosity and experiments.
