The Goliath birdeater spider (Theraphosa blondi) is the largest in the world. Found in the upland rain forest regions of northern South America, these spiders live in deep burrows and are commonly found in swampy areas. These spiders can have a leg span of up to 28 cm (11 in) and can weigh over 170 g (6.0 oz)

The Goliath birdeaters don’t really make birds part of their diet. Only rarely do these arachnids actually feed on adult birds. In the wild, its diet consists primarily of earthworms and toads, but they do also feed on small rodents, lizards, and snakes when they get the chance.
