Yup it is the largest spider in the world, its size is around 30cm and weighed 170gm. Its found in northern america and its belong to terentula family.
the giant huntsman spider does have a larger leg-span. Goliaths don’t usually eat birds, but they are big enough to be able to—and occasionally they do.
“Birdeater” came from an 18th-century engraving that showed another kind of tarantula eating a hummingbird, which gave the entire Theraphosa genus
the name birdeater.Althogh it mostly eats Insects, snakes, rodents and lizards. Glodiath don't spin webs to trap food, as they use their weaving
skills in another way: to line their burrows under the forest floor. When they were threatened, Goliath birdeaters can shoot tiny, barbed hairs
from their body. These extremely tiny hairs irritate to the skin, and can get caught in the eyes, nose, and mouth and this can cause great agitation of
the attacker. Male Goliath birdeaters typically die a few months after mating. The female spins a web, lays 50 to 200 eggs in that web, gathers the web
into a ball, and carries it around. Thogh this creature is not a thrat to humans as the venom is not deadly to us, but the size and its look can definately
scare us.

with moist soil. Unlike other North American moles. e most moles, the star-nosed mole is an insectivore, eating aquatic bugs, as well as earthworms
and small fish. And it is one of two animals in the world known to smell underwater, by blowing air bubbles and sucking them back into its nose.
Scientists are studying the star-nosed mole's nose because its design makes it receptive to detecting minute seismic waves and therefore help predict
earthquakes earlier. As they are not a big threat to humans but it is scary.

Indigenous Emberá people of Colombia have used its powerful poison for centuries to tip their blowgun darts when hunting. They usually eats ants and beetles.
scintists are not sure about the source of the poison of these frogs, but they think that these frogs assimilate plant poisons which are carried by
their prey.There are more than 100 species of poison dart frogs. Poison dart frogs are brightly coloured, with a wide range of patterns. Their colours
include white, black, yellow, orange, red, green and blue, and this bright colour is a warning to the predators.
