It looked like a normal spider, except the body grew two horns that looked like demons.

The picture was taken by scientist Andreas Kay in July 2017 in Ecuador. It looked like a normal spider, except the body grew two horns that looked like demons. Others saw it as a black wolf, but with a rabbit's ears.

And you know what is the weirdest thing here? The monster above is not a spider, although it looks like a spider.


The strange spider has a cute horny head like clay.

It is known that this strange creature has the scientific name Metagryne bicolumnata , but native people know it as bunny harvestman, or rabbit ears . And it belongs to a group of spider-like arthropods - long-legged black spider (daddy long-legs) consisting of more than 6600 species.

"It looks" dangerous ", but they don't have venom, and they don't harm people," said Andreas Kay. "They have existed for at least 400 million years, before the dinosaurs lived."

It is known that the rabbit ear rambutan was discovered by humans in 1959, by experts on German arthropods Carl Friedrich Reower. However, even though it has been around for a long time, scientists are still not sure why they have such ridiculous forms. Just know that there is one factor that makes them evolve to possess black bodies, ears, and 2 gold dots that look like 2 eyes.

An interesting point is that 2 gold dots are just fake eyes. Their true eyes are in front of the speculation.

Look carefully, 2 black dots in front of your eyes.

According to Kay, they have a reason to possess this special shape, when it is possible to "cosplay" into a larger-sized predator. However, this hypothesis has not yet been verified.

Moreover, there has never been any in-depth study of this animal, in addition to a few published 60 years ago. Part of the reason is because Ecuador's biosphere is so diverse, it is difficult to study it all . it is difficult.
