Reader Voting: What is the most frightening animal in the world?

BBC Wildlife reports that this nightmare of dinner is the biggest tarantula on earth, with a body that extends almost 5 inches and foot span of up to 11.

This stalking the rain forest floor in South America, relying on the feet to feel the vibration because, apart from his eight eyes, his vision is bad.

When capturing prey, he injected poison that melted the tissue, inhaling the remnants like a terrible smoothie.

Under the threat, he launched thorny hair clouds that dug into the skin and eyes, causing the remaining pain. Females even weave these hairs into egg bags as defenses, trapping their nests.

Will this heavyweight horror be at the top of the list of the most layer of Nature Night Dreams?
