Chester zoo worked with the RSPB to raise hundreds of baby spiders, keeping them separate in test tubes so that they did not eat one another.
The spiders were hand-fed with tweezers in the zoo’s bio-secure breeding facility until they were big enough to be released into the wild.
How big does a human hand thriving in the UK get?
About a footlong.
Nah, they’re not much bigger than a newborn rat.
What the actual fuck Chester zoo. No, just no.
Shit, these things were fed tweezers, but what if they develop a taste for human flesh?
It says they fed them hands!
The fen raft spider is a harmless arachnid that plays a vital role in aquatic ecosystems, but 15 years ago was on the brink of extinction because of habitat loss.
Naw they look like little huntsman.
