00:00 Oh, that's the one.
00:04 Oh, crumbs, I can feel her fangs grusting against the machete.
00:18 Wow!
00:20 I am very, very glad I wasn't pointing it.
00:24 No, no, come back, come back.
00:28 She won't go far away from her terrier.
00:31 Come on, sweetheart.
00:32 She is gigantic.
00:34 And if she feels threatened, she might attack me.
00:37 So the idea is to get her into a good position,
00:41 and just have her hold my hand.
00:44 She's moving very fast, actually.
00:50 Usually when these spiders move, they're quite slow.
00:56 Oh!
00:58 I can't keep my cool.
01:00 You can feel their character and their intentions.
01:06 And sometimes, they just feel like biting.
01:20 This is the largest spider found in the whole world.
01:26 That's the closest I've ever been to being bitten by one.
01:30 The fangs came out, they were ready to plunge in,
01:34 but unbelievably, she just used them to stabilize herself on my finger,
01:39 almost like they were an extra limb.
01:41 Didn't plunge them in.
01:43 And I'm very, very relieved because that would have hurt me so bad.
01:47 It's said that the venom is no more intense than that of a wasp.
01:53 But the fangs are so big that the bite itself, just beautiful in the nature of this,
01:59 it would be horrific.
02:01 Wow, look at that.
02:03 She is huge.
02:04 It's beautiful.
02:05 Look at all these hairs, right on her legs.
02:07 Incredibly fine.
02:09 Those are extremely sensitive to vibrations, so much so,
02:12 the spider can feel the movement of a tiny insect that passes by her.
02:17 She also has hair that's sticking out of the back of her abdomen,
02:20 that she can throw at her attackers to cause very strong bites in the nose,
02:25 the eyes or the mouth.
02:27 It's a great defense mechanism.
02:30 Arachnophobia is the most common fear among humans,
02:34 and it's a shame because we totally rely on these creatures.
02:39 They feed on harmful insects that would make our world unbearable if we let them proliferate.
02:45 For many, this spider would be a very good reason to never set foot in this forest.
02:50 But for me, it's just to see her that I came here.
02:54 Come on, my pretty.
02:56 Off you go.
02:58 She goes back to her burrow,
03:01 and I'm going to try to film a Goliath spider in full hunting for the first time.
03:06 [Music]
03:12 With my night vision camera, I see a cricket approaching her.
03:17 The darkness is total, but she feels her presence.
03:21 She's waiting for the perfect moment.
