[VIDEO] Giant Spider Tries To Eat A Mouse

A giant spider drags a dead mouse up the side of a refrigerator, apparently to eat it.

 

Jason Womal filmed the huge arachnid’s feat of strength at his neighbor’s home in Coppabella, in Queensland, Australia.

 

Womal was on his way to work, but stopped long enough to take video of the spider scuttling up the refrigerator with its prey and post it on Facebook.

 

The creepy crawly video has been seen more than 13 million times.

 

Huntsman spiders normally feed on insects and invertebrates, according to the Australian Museum. Experts said they doubted the spider killed the mouse.

 

Graham Millage, manager of the Australian Museum’s arachnology collection, said that while it is unusual for spiders to target vertebrates, it’s not impossible.

 

Fellow Australian Museum arachnid expert Helen Smith said she doesn’t think the spider killed the mouse.
