Meet The Goliath Birdeater — The Biggest Spider In The World
The Goliath birdeater, the world's largest spider by mass, is native to the rainforests of northern South America. Despite its name, it primarily preys on insects, earthworms, frogs, and small mammals, though it is an opportunistic hunter and has been documented to eat birds when the chance arises. Its formidable nature is attributed to its large size, with leg spans up to 30 cm, and defensive capabilities including large fangs and the ability to launch barbed hairs. AI
