Predators of the Wild: Giant Tarantula (1993)

The secrets of the maligned and misunderstood tarantula are brought to light in the Discovery Channel's Predators of the Wild series portrait of the Giant Tarantula. The film presents an intimate look at the largest and most venomous spider species in the world.

Footage also captures the tarantula's deadly mating ritual.
