WATCH: Terrifying moment large spider drags opossum to its death
Updated | By The Workzone with Alex Jay
This unsettling video is the first-ever documentation of a large mygalomorph spider preying on an opossum.
A gigantic tarantula attacked and killed an opossum mouse in a video captured by biologists from the University of Michigan in the Amazon rainforest.
The researchers shared the video along with a paper in Amphibian & Reptile Conservation describing the bizarre encounter as something from a horror movie.
