Any GUESSES to what it's called and/or what it's size is?

On PBS nature they talked about a spider in south america big enough to catch, kill and eat full grown chickens. A researcher went to try and find it( some people will do anything to get on TV), but was unsuccessful.

The exact size of this spider could not be determined.

I've seen a pic of a huge spider called a camel spider. In the pic it looks as big as a cat. My grandson has seen them in Iraq.

The largest spider in the world is..........the giant spider in the 1955 film 'Tarantula'.

Seriously, I say the Brazilian tarantula (that's not the exact name I do believe, but I think that's where they live).

Isn't it like a bird spider or something like that

I don't have a scientific name, but I think it is the Goliath Birdeating Spider. And it's the size of a dinner plate!!!!

Now I must ask, why would you bring up such a chilling topic, I'm scared just thinking about it. Haha!

The biggest spider is the Tarantula Nebula at about 1000 light years across.

i would say us australians have the biggest hunsman as wear i was living it was a coastal town and we had a unit that over looked the beach and caravan park we home and i found this massive hunsman in my sons room the darn hunsman was on its back feet and ready to have a go at me until i introduced the hunsman to my thongs or sandles as you guys would call this but in australia we wear thongs to the beach very comfterball i wacked it so hard it would not die as i thought it was flattend to only find out it wanted another go so i hit it sevral times and then it was al over for the hunsman

i have heard of that spider in africa one of the biggest ones i have been told deep in the forset it is to be said wear it lives as their was a show hear being played on abc on the deadly spiders and it came up to wear this proffesor who had studied spiders al his life was talking on this as they wear showing how to deal with the fear of spiders and had sevral human to see if they could brake their fear they even had all sort of spiders to wear the person who had this fear all their lives wear told that these people can help them over come their fear and it sort of worked to the way they done it

yet i am puzzled to how big of a spider can grow heard of vamp spider related to drakula but hear they are like drop bears in our forests so its not just drop bears visitors to australia need to be worried about but vamp spiders
