Just in time for Halloween, video has emerged from Australia that may chill your blood.
Facebook user Jason Womal uploaded video of a giant spider dragging a mouse.
"So I am just about to leave for work about 0030 [12:30 am] and me neighbour says, 'You want to see something cool,'" Womal wrote. "So we proceed to his place and he shows me this. Huntsman trying to eat a mouse."
Australia has 94 known species of Huntsman spiders. They are "famed as being the hairy so-called 'tarantulas' on house walls that terrify people by scuttling out from behind curtains," writes the Australian Museum.
The large, hairy spiders are mostly gray or brown, though some have banding on their legs. They range in size from less than an inch to nearly six inches across.
