Creepy Australian wildlife video of the day: Huntsman spider carrying a mouse it intends to eat

Everything might be bigger in America, but Australia will always win when it comes to creepy crawlies. Not only are their spiders shockingly big, they're also not afraid to show just what they can do.

Lucky Ozzie Jason Womal got to see nature in its full glory when his neighbour called him over to see "something cool".

"So I am just about to leave for work about 0030," wrote Womal on Facebook, "and me neighbour says "You want to see something cool" and I say "Hell yeah". So we proceed to his place and he shows me this. Huntsman trying to eat a mouse."

Womal took a video of the sight, showing a large huntsman spider carrying a mouse that seems to be larger that itself across a fridge. At the time of writing, the video has been seen over 8.7m times and shared almost 150,000 times.

Womal then shared a few more photos of the gruesome sight before updating huntsman fans that "the spider is fine", they have named it Hermie and "we have adopted it". Womal added that the spider is now paying rent – with a crawly that big, it could be true.
