Jumping spiders are such interesting little dudes. So diligent when they hunt. It's fascinating to know that at one point, they were MASSIVE billions of years ago. Now they're teeny tiny.
@RICHARD TAVERAS Also it's more out of fear than anything if they try to fight you. I mean, you're like 100× their size, so you're basically a giant to them. Also, having poor eyesight can also play into making you quite fearful, especially if you're that small surrounded by things that can squish you and they wouldn't notice. I'd honestly be terrified too.
A very beautiful little creeper. She'll do nicely among her larger relatives. Look forward to seeing the new HG vipalavarium, or whatever it will be. Take care.
@Pepe The Platypus RIGHT!!! My jaw hit the floor when he made that comment!! I have to admit I did lmao tho. I am a little surprised that more people didnt leave negative comments bein how sensitive every1 is now a days & that sounded pretty offensive!
I'll admit she is kinda cute. When she was just hanging out on your finger watching you make her new home I thought that was adorable. Then she didn't want to let go of you :3
Sometimes when I'm watching your videos I forget about my arachnophobia... Until you put them on your skin and then I have to try not to screech in terror.
@NPC #34254334 Response: I blame my science teacher for showing our class a documentary on Black Widows. Spiders get a bad rep because of how they look, their poisonous bites and how they can get in your shoes or your bed while you sleep at night. Makes them creepy. But I do find Ts and jumping spiders cute. Just don't want them crawling all over me.
I don't usually comment on here often but I do watch all your videos, absolutely love this channel and all of the beautiful, Interesting critters on it, I love the quality of the video and just how absolutely heartwarming it is watching you Interact with the critters, you exude so much love, innocence and intrigue in your pets, your video really are a joy to watch 😊 keep up the good work.
But I think that also generally African spiders are darker in colour, it makes sense that the same primate and human adaptation to high levels of UV is present in other African animals.
Most spiders don’t stick around for the mothering, so there’s no biological need for imprinting. Wolf spiders are a good example to the contrary, however. They’re wonderful mothers. Edit: velvet spider mothers liquify and then regurgitate their organs upon birth of their brood. The slings then consume the mother.
wolf spider young dont imprint on the mother, they will cluster on males and different genera, too, its a simple instinct to cluster onto any spider at this stage. another example would be newborn scorpions- if you remove them from the mother and place them by another scorpion they will attempt to ride its back regardless of gender or species.
Great video! Tonight I managed to catch a spider and safety release it outside. He was very large and bolty but I stayed calm and managed to set him free. This is a big achievement for me and it’s all thanks to your videos. Thanks Petko!
Thank you so much Niels for the beautiful spider! She's so cute! :) We appreciate the new addition-thanks again! I am so so hyped for the new enclosure; it'll be amazing, I just know it!
Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ah, down beside that red firelight Are you gonna let it all hang out? Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go 'round
It looks like she's carrying a big rock on her back!! How cute!! I could just sit down and watch her walk around on my hands for the whole day. I'd love to have one if I didn't have to worry about temperature and humidity and live food and short lifespan...
She's cute, but Jumpies are my favorite! Because of you and Exotics Lair I have been saving all the Jumping spiders at my house and job. We have one named Henry that lives on our railing post, and comes to the top when we come out. They are so inquisitive!
The H. Gigas has the ability to stay fully submerged for long period of time. But it’s probably not to go hunt under water. It probably because they experience high rains in their natural habitat, and their burrows get flooded occasionally. They make some pretty deep burrows. If they had to evacuate them every time it rained they would be easy targets for predators.
My friend once sent me a photo he took of a spider, hoping I'd know the species. He's pretty scared of spiders though lol. I didn't know that species back then until now. We live in South Africa, so it's most likely not a lost pet lol
I was hyped to see you had a frog enclosure. I am new to your show and have been jumping around hoping for a glimpse of a frog.I love the spiders as well. I will look for a video about your frogs.
When I was a little girl (age 6-7,) I had about 12 pet tarantulas. I loved them all. At age 19 I was bitten and envenomated by a brown widow and have since lost my liking for them. I must say though, this bulbous little lady is very cute. Nothing like a cutie with a big back porch! 😊

My first time here. I'm not leaving anytime soon... Just like the velvet spider, I'm also from Southern Africa... and very recently I've started to learn more about spiders due to my desire to photograph them. The more you know, the better it gets.

I thought the same! :3 He should name her "Lil Mushroom" ^^
I think that is part of her camouflage
That was my thought exactly, her but looks just like those basic mushrooms you get at the market! 😄
I thought she looked like a potato
She looks like pastry with legs.
She's super docile on his hand, that's so adorable. She's like: let me love you!

Maybe it's temporarily because it's been locked in the darkness for days 🤔

I see what you did there.
i want nothing more than to rip that spider apart piece by piece while it is still alive
@@NomTheDom What the hell?
At first I thought.. looks like a big tick.. and then I saw her cute face ❤❤❤
I mean it looks like a fake spider. But i know it's a real one.
Good pfp
Honestly if I died and came back reincarnated as this spider, I wouldn’t be mad
RICHARD TAVERAS I don't think so. They act on instinct.
They are honestly insect apex predators
Ehhhm? Your comment makes 0 sense.

There's a light novel and upcoming anime about a girl who gets reincarnated as a spider
the pug of spiders :D
Oh my god I can't get over how *accurate* this is
Lol...
yep. just like Jumpers are the Shoobs.
Well...pugs have problems with their breathing, thats why people say they're cute...I think it's just sad
Pugs arent cute at all, hitting someones face with a pan does not make something cute.
A very beautiful little creeper. She'll do nicely among her larger relatives. Look forward to seeing the new HG vipalavarium, or whatever it will be. Take care.
Having her stay on your finger like that is like having a living spider ring you know like the Rings you got as a kid for Halloween
this spider is soooooo cute. I am just smiling to myself for this spider. She just hanging out with while you are creating a home for her :)
Now we need is Exotic Lair to get one and it all will be complete!
HELL YESSSS
Bruh exotics lair already got that kinda tarantula and a jumping mini spider
@@lucastay8801 it isn't a turantula.

Lucas the spider ! Omg I love you for commenting this.

My first thought as well
Same!! 😄

Are you gonna let it all hang out?
Fat bottomed girls

That's an adorable little chubster. I got a really good pause at 3:23 and it looks like she only has two eyes...
i thought there were two extra small eyes on either side. You can see two more lumps that look like spider eyes.
Hehe. Looks like a mushroom with eight legs. Pretty adorable.
lol she was watching you make her enclosure
she kinda looks like a little blueberry! I love her ❤️
This is Nancy, although her friends call her Nugget.
Happy to know someone noticed lol.
Omg yaaas the Bolas spider vid was the first one I ever watched from Zefrank!
When I found this channel I was afraid of spiders. Now im facinated by them! Good content as always!

I love how she just vibed with you the whole time you set up her home. I'm honestly kind of jelly I hope to have another sweet spooder soon
"Her face is super cute."
Truly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ;-)
While I still think jumping spiders are the cutest, this one's really adorable. Something about that face and the eyes really make the cuteness to me!
Wolfies are adorable, too.

Nobody:
People with arachnophobia: that shallow beast shall never be cute-

I'm not much of a spider person, but she looks very cute. She falls over but she doesn't get worked up. Very relaxed.
Love velvets. They use front legs like hands and grabbing their prey like they gonna hug them before eating!
