Definitely have no desire to go to Australia

A zoo in Somersby, Australia was left flabbergasted after receiving an anonymous donation of a giant funnel web spider — armed with powerful fangs that can pierce a human fingernail.

Footage uploaded by the zoo shows the Shelob-esque spider ominously posed next to hats, coins and other objects to showcase its massive size. At one point it rears up like a cobra to flash humongous fangs, which can reportedly penetrate a human fingernail.

Despite their creepy countenance, funnel webs generally prefer to eat cockroaches, millipedes and other arthropods, which they detect via silken trip lines placed outside their burrows.

Never came across any of the funnel webs face to face. Did squish some red backs and white tails though. If we saw a huntsman we catch those and put them in the garden. They were ugly as sin but ate the skeeters and harmless to humans.

The funnelweb spider can kill a man in eight seconds, just by lookin' at him.

I feel pretty confident that the Good Lord never intended for people to inhabit Australia considering all the terrifying and deadly shite he put there.

Every animal species on Australia can kill you.
They need a meteor strike.

Now that is a reason to be quarantined.

They eat them in china. They're good for the libido.*
*I don't know if any of that is true, but it sounds like something the chinese would do.
