    That picture is a little deceiving, those birds are pretty small. Regardless, it's still creepy.

    Whenever I see something like this, all I can think of, is that scene in 'Apocolypse Now'...

    Australia is one of the most goddamn vivid places on this planet. Did you know that the duck billed platypus is venomous??? Yeah, that joke of an animal that they always tell you about as a kid can f*cking sting you worse than jellyfish with excruciating pain that can last months.

    Those spiders aren't only in Australia, they are all over the world. They just grow to fairly large sizes at the northern end of the country and throughout Southeast Asia because the climate in the rain forests supports the large growth size.

    They can be found through out equatorial regions around the globe and some types of that spider live in more temperate climates too.
