The Forgotten Giant Spiders of the US

Hidden in habitats across the US are giant spiders most people have never heard of. They come in a wide variety of shapes, surprisingly large sizes and are absolutely real - and they're taking spider biology to the absolute extreme. Today we're taking a look at the forgotten giant spiders of American wilderness. My name is Spencer Hoffman. I’m a biologist and filmmaker from North Carolina and my goal is to find the most extreme life forms in the world—from the strangest, to the deadliest— and capture the stories of how their insane lifestyles help them to survive on our Weird Planet.
