Huge Tarantula Arrives In The Mail

A man in Bristol, England, received an interesting package in the mail after moving into his new home – a huge spider!

The Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater, one of the world’s largest spiders, arrived at the house in a box marked ‘Return to Sender.’ They are known to be aggressive with 2.5cm fangs and can shoot toxic barbed hairs from their bodies which can cause blindness.

The spider was supposed to be returning to the previous owner of the house and the parcel had been travelling within the postal system for about 3 weeks without being opened.

The spider was taken to a vet who says it was ‘very unwell’ and ‘showing signs of dehydration.’ The mould from the bedding inside the box had caused a lot of the hair on the spider’s stomach to fall out and the vet was surprised that it even survived.
