  • Whether small enough to fit the head of a pin, or large enough to fill a dinner plate, spiders are amazing animals. Supreme hunters of the invertebrate world, they are the most numerous predators on Earth. But, they are also nature's master craftsmen, fashioning exquisite webs of the finest silk - a natural fibre so tough that it may rank with the most advanced human innovations.

    For anybody interested, they just recently (2022) discovered a spiders spun web actually has musical notes to them, and, it's quite possible that the spiders actually hear or feel the tones and notes being played as they walk, spin, and catch prey.

      Honestly, compare to many insects spiders are saints, they never parasitize and kill very quickly, whereas wasps and even other arachnids are notorious and horrible parasites. The parasitic wasps also prey on some tarantulas. Most predators, from microscopic to giant mammals, kill relatively slowly, causing horrible pain before their prey dies from shock or bloodloss, large cats are especially known to have a sadistic behaviour like this (not house cats however, very different animals actually). Basically, spiders are arguably the most humane killers generally-speaking, so I wouldn't call them monsters. With that said, as much as I love jumpers, if they were the size of us, they would truly be a nightmare, extremely intelligent, adaptive, using tactics, and are very fast and sneaky. Definitely scarier than most predators simply because they would be much more effective against us, not to mention they always go for large prey so they wouldn't hesitate to eat us too, even if they were chighuahua-sized.
      So monsters as far as pacifists go, but for a predator not really.

      @@thermionicemission6355 WTF are you talking about?
      Domestic cats (Felis catus) are among the most sadistic and predacious of any predatory group.
      Look at the loss of urban and suburban wildlife as with songbirds.
      'But they are great mousers and ratters' someone whines.
      No they are not. There are several members of the domestic dog family (Canis familiaris) such as Dachshunds, and many terrier breeds such as Jack Russells', that are much more aggressive at 'vermin control'. Domestic cats are lazy, opportunistic, though ultimately voracious predators.
      Then there is the problem of toxoplasma gondi, a species jumping mind controlling parasite that thrives in cat shit.
      Don't want some you care for to NOT become a crazy cat person?
      Kill their cat.
      Large wild cats are fine in their place.
      So called domestic cats that often overbreed and become feral cats do not belong anywhere.
      Kill the cats.

I soon found out No. 1 was about Elephants and I didn't think I was going to watch 2/13 spiders but took the plunge and was not disappointed. I enjoyed this video which is saying something considering I am not fond of spiders. These video's are most informative and the narration is class, the story well told with an interesting voice. On now to 3/13 Lions which I hope will not disappoint. A lot of fact checking has gone into these videos thank you very much for your work and sharing.

    I remember that there was a two partite documentation made in the 1970s which is now nearly lost, made by Horst Stern. It was called 'Leben am seidenen Faden - Bemerkungen über die Spinne' (Life on a Strand - Remarks on the Spider), which turned spiders into something fascinating.
    There they also showed the behavious of Bola Spiders (they catch their prey with a single thread with a glue drop on its end).
    Unfortunately, this documentation has been damaged by time, as in those times, the only means to store this amount of data, was on analog magnetic tapes. A person managed to tape it, and transfer it into modern data, and uploaded it on CZcams - the channel is called Laibachs Doku-Kanal. The pictures are blurred, but it is the best you can get by now.
    There is even more to spiders, like the one that is living under water in a bubble, and fills the content of the bubble with fresh air, by going up, collecting the atmosphere in their furry hairs (making use of the surface tension of water as opposed to air), then let it flow into the bubble. Some big spiders hunt like baboon spider, but they hide themselves beneath a woven lid, covered in detritus; and if any prey comes along, they open the lid, jump on the prey, pull it in, and close the lid, all in the blink of an eye. And so on...
