Discovered extremely poisonous '8-legged monster' 7.6cm long, terrible fangs bite through human nails

Deadly venomous spiders, also known as "eight-legged monsters", have the ability to bite through fingernails with 2.5 cm long fangs.

Employees at the Australian Reptile Park in New South Wales were amazed to receive a giant spider presented by an unnamed woman.

Extremely poisonous funnel web spider.

Experts confirm this is a very venomous spider, capable of biting through human fingernails with its sharp fangs.

Michael Tate, education officer for the Australian Reptile Park in New South Wales, said the unknown sent the spider as part of their search for an antidote to spider venom.

The spider is about 7.62 cm, twice the length of a normal spider, it is the largest spider that Michael Tate, who has worked at the park for more than 30 years, has ever seen.

Spiders are twice the size of normal spiders.

Video recorded by Michael Tate shows the spider next to a coin and other objects that demonstrate its enormous size. At times, the spider looks like a cobra with many giant fangs.

Funnel web spiders like to eat cockroaches and other arthropods, which hunt their prey through dense webs located outside the entrance of their burrows.

The fangs are long, bite deeply and deliver venom to the opponent.

The Australian Reptile Park representative said the recent wet weather had created ideal conditions for the fungal network to proliferate.

In fact, Australian Reptile Park specializes in milking funnel web spiders to extract venom, which can be used as an antidote, significantly helping to save 300 lives a year.

The park says it takes raw venom from funnel-web spiders weekly and sends it to the Seqirus center in Melbourne to make an antidote.

Tate said: "The spider is unusually large and if we can get more people to turn over more spiders it will help save more lives. We really wanted to find out. Find out where it's coming from, hopefully find more giant spiders like it."

The famous spider is among about 40 varieties that "proud" to be highly venomous and fast acting. They have been linked to 13 deaths in Australia in recent years, a symbol of fear but fascination and mystery for many Sydneysiders.
