8. Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula – Largest Spider In The World

Okay, no. Just no. First of all the name. It isn’t just called a Goliath tarantula, they had to say it eats birds, too.  This spider is the largest one in the world and can live for up to 25 years.  You would find this giant spider, not that you would want to, in the rain forests of South America. It got its name from eating a humming bird, but it only rarely prays on adult birds.  The only thing nastier than this enormous spider is that people in South America eat it. Supposedly it tastes like shrimp.
