So this is the Sydney funnel webb spider 00:00
or Atrax robustus. There have been 13 00:02
confirmed deaths from these guys. 00:05
However, since the invention of our 00:07
antivenenom in the 1980s, no one has 00:09
died. Uh that hasn't stopped the spiders 00:11
from trying as there are around 30 00:15
people a year that kind of end up 00:17
needing a lot of antivenenom. I wanted 00:19
to see what's happening with our mature 00:21
males, especially that when they're out 00:23
looking for a female is when we often 00:25
encounter them as people. This is 00:28
Harold. Harold, absolute superstar. 00:29
Loved him. He did so great. You'd think, 00:32
okay, well, you go on a date, you go, 00:34
okay, they they're at the other side of 00:36
the bar. We'll walk over to the bar. 00:38
Let's just picture for a little itty 00:40
bitty second here that the other people 00:41
around you in the bar are about 40 times 00:44
the size of you. Uh they're screaming at 00:46
you and throwing stuff. So, uh you can 00:49
kind of get an picture here of what it's 00:53
like to be a funnel web. Uh when you 00:55
accidentally walk into the house of a 00:57
human being, I get this a lot of, "Oh, 00:59
he's trying to bite me. It's really 01:02
stressful." Just as an FYI, if it makes 01:03
you feel any better, uh when they do 01:05
this kind of rearing up behavior, 01:07
they're blind. Uh their eyes are on the 01:10
back of their head. So when they like 01:12
lift their head up, they can't see 01:14
anything. It's not he's going to kill 01:15
me. He's going to bite me. Um no, no. 01:17
He's just really scared. 01:19

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
So this is the Sydney funnel webb spider
or Atrax robustus. There have been 13
confirmed deaths from these guys.
However, since the invention of our
antivenenom in the 1980s, no one has
died. Uh that hasn't stopped the spiders
from trying as there are around 30
people a year that kind of end up
needing a lot of antivenenom. I wanted
to see what's happening with our mature
males, especially that when they're out
looking for a female is when we often
encounter them as people. This is
Harold. Harold, absolute superstar.
Loved him. He did so great. You'd think,
okay, well, you go on a date, you go,
okay, they they're at the other side of
the bar. We'll walk over to the bar.
Let's just picture for a little itty
bitty second here that the other people
around you in the bar are about 40 times
the size of you. Uh they're screaming at
you and throwing stuff. So, uh you can
kind of get an picture here of what it's
like to be a funnel web. Uh when you
accidentally walk into the house of a
human being, I get this a lot of, "Oh,
he's trying to bite me. It's really
stressful." Just as an FYI, if it makes
you feel any better, uh when they do
this kind of rearing up behavior,
they're blind. Uh their eyes are on the
back of their head. So when they like
lift their head up, they can't see
anything. It's not he's going to kill
me. He's going to bite me. Um no, no.
He's just really scared.
