    That third "superpower" is low key the most amazing thing ever. The fact that an animal the size of a fingernail is capable of problem solving on such a level is just mind blowing to me!
    They learn from their encounters and adjust their hunting strategies based on their experience. They study their prey's behavior and formulate plans of attack.
    That makes them quite some of the most intelligent animals on Earth! They have better problem solving skills than human toddlers.

      They are doing all this (and a lot more besides, not covered here) with half a million neurons. We have about a hundred billion. Truly an amazing little critter.

    • @april5054

      an even more interesting tidbit is that the queensland population of portia fimbriata aren't just spider eating spiders, but _specifically_ hunt jumping spiders. you know, the smartest clade of spiders. those ones are even smarter than the ones that hunt web builders.
      they can imitate the specific vibrations made by a male of another jumping spider species to lure out the female of its nest to eat it, and even hunt jumping spiders that they can't see, by jumping until their well-camouflaged prey gives itself away by turning to look.

    • @BlooJay.mp4
      @BlooJay.mp4 Рік тому +14

      They might be even smarter than we think! Scientists recently discovered that (at least in some less intelligent species) jumpers experience REM sleep! The jumper's main set of peepers are moveable (just like ours), so scientists observed transparent spiderlings to see if they could detect eye movement inside their heads. Sure enough when the spiders went to sleep their eyes could be seen twitching! They also noted that other parts of the spider's body would twitch as well. This would suggest they might experience visual dreams just like we do. We don't know for sure yet though, not until we do the worlds smallest brain scan to confirm they dream lol
      These little guys are truly nature's best work.

    • @rewinderon707
      @rewinderon707 5 місяців тому +2

      I don't think "most intelligent". Not because the spiders are dumb, they're quite smart, incredibly so! It's just I sincerely believe that humans tend to underestimate the intelligence of pretty much any animal except some mammals. The insects alone offer many, many thinkers. We see something like an anthill and just go "programmed behaviour" instead of noticing many bits of everyday problem solving employed by ants. We see fish learn to spew water at flies in the air by observing other fishes doing the same and go "instinct". This is just hubris. Intelligent systems are what surrounds us, and I think it's the dumber ones that are outliers (those who manage to find a perfect niche and cut on the resources going into developing a brain and a reasoning ability)

      I think I'd really love this story adapted into an animated series, or some kind of show or movie, because I really want more people to experience it. I feel like it wouldn't work in live action, though. I feel like it would be hard to take CGI spiders seriously, it would have to be done really well to not take me out of it. I feel like a fully animated series would be way better.

Instead of panicking, I stopped and looked at her. She was clearly looking back at me. I wished her a good night of hunting, and at the same moment we each continued with our tasks.

    Portia Fimbriata was always one of those animals that utterly astonished me. As a spider fanatic when I was younger, the prospect of a cannibalistic spider- not uncommon- that relied on intelligence almost unseen in any other animal. As Atenborough put it brilliantly, 'Portia is a genius'. Along with the Net- casting (Ogre face) spider, her eyesight is unparalleled. With similar techniques to the assassin spider, the fact that she could actively plan out a method of attack, learning from mistakes and spending hours mapping out the intricate web patterns of the Argioppe's unique web. Another common prey of the Portia Fimbriata is Spitting spiders. If she were to get in the way of the chelicerae, she'd be pinned down and killed. So she waits for mating season to attack. Spitting spiders hold their eggs in their chelicerae, meaning that they cant extcrete the sticky glue substance at a prey on the move, so the Portia will leap onto the back of the enemy and paralyse her. She'll then dispose of the eggs and eat the spider. Fascinating. Generally seen was the most intelligent arthropod in the world, and one of the most intelligent animals, up there with dolphins, chimpanzees and crows.

Plenty of pretty large animals will forget you if they don't see you, but this little spider remembers both where the prey are and it's plan of attack. It can also learn from failure and form new plans instead. That puts it pretty high up on the scale of intelligence.
