I Caught Australia's Most Dangerous Spider

DO NOT REPLICATE. Funnel web spiders are extremely venomous, and a bite can be life threatening. This experiment was conducted by professionals for educational demonstration only.

The Sydney funnel web is often said to be the most aggressive spider on Earth. It has a deadly bite, capable of taking the lives of adult humans in mere minutes - but what is its true nature? Is the funnel web spider actually as aggressive as they say? Is it really the world’s most venomous spider? And what happens if a funnel web spider bites you? All these questions and more will be explored as we uncover the true story of Australia’s most feared spider.

My name is Spencer Hoffman. I’m a biologist and filmmaker from North Carolina and my goal is to find the most extreme life forms in the world—from the strangest, to the deadliest— and capture the stories of how their insane lifestyles help them to survive on our Weird Planet.
