:29:00
Sorry, sweetheart.
:29:03
That "Whoa!" my breath, scared her...
:29:05
...and she got nervous and had a strike.
:29:08
Have a go at this. Look.
:29:10
Look at the venom on that stick.
:29:12
Real syrupy thick venom!
And she'd have a lot of it.
:29:16
We should get this girl back to Australia Zoo...
:29:19
...so we can do research
on the toxicity of the venom.
:29:23
And that will give us an indication
of how we can best look after them...
:29:27
...and this entire environment.
:29:29
She's a beautiful girl, all right. Really nice.
:29:32
But whatever you do,
don't ever try and wrangle a spider.
:29:37
I'd hate to get this amount of venom
stuck into my veins.
:29:40
I reckon it would be one heck
of a rough journey. Could even kill me.
:29:44
Hey, Terri! Can you get a container?
:29:48
I got a big bird-eater, mate!
:29:54
Breeding season is a real bummer for
the male bird-eating spider...
:29:57
...because after they mate,
the female kills and eats him.
:30:02
Come on, sweetheart.
:30:07
-Throw the lid on, mate.
-Careful, Steve.
:30:12
They say I've got nerves of steel,
except when I'm dealing with spiders.
:30:16
Have a go at this.
In this hole I reckon we're onto something.
:30:19
What we've got here is a beautiful hole.
:30:22
You can see tripwires out in front.
Here's one, two, three.
:30:27
And that's what stimulates the spider
to, whammo, strike and hit.
:30:31
Good hole!
:30:32
It's not completely understood why or how...
:30:35
...they build these holes.
:30:38
Just kidding.
:30:40
If we have a look down in there,
here's a chamber.
:30:44
And here's what was in the chamber.
:30:47
Pretty well busted up.
:30:49
Couple of fang marks in the abdomen there.
:30:53
She's had a feed on this bloke!
:30:55
This was actually her husband.
:30:59
He probably mated with her
over the last couple of days or nights.
