HUGE!

This spider is HUGE!! I caught him in my apartment after he gave me quite a fright. He jumped out from behind my laundry basket as I went to take the clothes from it. I did not want to kill or squish him. I released him outside. How did I get him to pose for the photo? I caught him in a cup and put him in the freezer for a minute. He'll defrost outside and live to terrorize another day.

CAPYBARA

Unfortunately this picture doesn't have a reference to show the size of these creatures. From the photo they could easily mistaken to be the size of a Guinea Pig....but that would be wrong. These guys are actually HUGE! They are about the size of a baby Hippopotamus, or a big farm pig. These 2 capybara where photographed at the Biodome in Montreal.
