ANN ARBOR – Just when you think you've seen it all, a team led by biologists from the University of Michigan captured the shocking video of a huge tarantula trailing a small opossum on the forest floor in Peru.
Captured in the Amazon rainforest at night, researcher and Ph.D. Candidate Mike Grundler tells in the video: "We were walking slowly and we heard scrabbling in leaf litter, and we watched and saw the tarantula at Above the possum and we sat down and watched this observation until the tarantula got tired of us and moved away. "
Members of the team reported observing spiders feeding on large insects and small frogs, but never a mammal.
The video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on YouTube.
