its like a spider and a praying mantis had a nightmare child D:
Fun fact in ancient day
They are bigger than this LOL
Nightmare fuel
@@withoutname9575 good thing they’re smaller than my foot
Smaller than a grain of rice? So just the right size to crawl in my ear while I'm sleeping? Well great...
🐜
It wouldn't want to go in your ear. It hunts spiders and seeks out webs. In fact, the only reason it would enter your ear would be to extract a spider. It would be doing you a favor.
your ear wax prevents it from getting in because they know they'll get stuck because they're sticky
Pelican spider is such an accurate name.
These tiny assassins will be our only allies against our spider overlords.
Monster Hunter Rise Trailer brought me here
Wow so I'm not the only one?! :D So freaky that we're getting a huge spider monster based on (most likely) this tiny creepy spider..
@@yiangaruga4928 weird how old videos and music get a new spotlight thanks to games. MHR for Switch....cant wait to see more of it.
Me too
Rise looking better then world tho not gonna lie
Same.
1:40 Wow, this millipede walks with purpose.
Makin' my way downtown.
Walkin' fast.
Walkin' faster.
I'm a millipede.
That's gotta be like the fastest millipede ever. I've never seen them move like that.
@@StoutShako doodoodoodoot doodoodoodoot
The Millipede must be a New Yorker
It looks like Cthulhu.
And thats why im terrified of it
bubble king when they said you had a peanut brain
The spider is the literal definition of that
Non à un pélican
"It's about as small as a grain of rice" so not only is it horrifying but I will also have a hard time seeing it.....good
And I thought spiders couldn't get any weirder looking.
I am beyond happy this came up on my feed, instant sub!
A SPIDER WITH A NECK.
Wow! Just learned of this amazing creature! How fascinating! What a wonderful, and amazing world we live in!! Tfs! ❤️💜💚
"It's only the size of a grain of rice"
Oh thank the gods
The way he says Madagascar 😂

Assassin Spider? More like frickin’ Freddy Krueger Spider.
Ahhh yes rakna kadachi
This is the previous evolutionary stage before the xenomorphs, about which Ridley Scott made his famous film
Thank you all! I`ve learned so many things! `Monster Bug Wars` was great!
Dr. Wood spoke about those interesting arachnids when visited Montgomery College yesterday !
you know what? they're JUST weird enough that I only feel half as arachnophobic when looking at them
Very interesting creature. I wonder who would win between the assassin/pelican spider vs a praying mantis....
They are definitely one of the strangest looking spiders. Also australia has the wrap around spider.
It looks like a duck wearing a spider costume
One of the Australian speicies is believed to be extinct after the kangaroo island bushfires :(
Steve Irwin hate you for that
why they look cool
I'm seriously reconsidering my decision to visit Madagascar...
Imagine one being the size of a horse lmao
I do NOT want to go anywhere near one of those
I've never been fasnicated with spiders. But this pelican spider is such a beauty.
1:42 what's that red bug's name? it looks very interesting
I think it's close to a boxelder bug or termite assassin bug can't really tell or probably it's in the sassassin bug species
Looks like a giraffe weevil
Wow!
Suddenly I am arachnophobic
Thats so creepy
Noo there much smaller than they originally where this is a new version not the same remember they evolved like everything else
A giant version would look like something from that Mist movie.
Pelican spider vs portia spider, now that's a fight.
I dont care what any one says. I think pelican spiders are adorable!!!
Interesting.
On one hand it would be nice to have them around to get rid of spiders, on the other hand eck
This guy sounds just like Dr. Michio Kaku
Ok, I'm not going to Austrialia, Madagascar, or south Africa. :)
As far as abominations go, these are rather cute.
is the spider truly an assassin? like where's it's contract?
For the Swarm!
My god I’m so stupid watching these spiders before bed . I’m getting so itchy all over and freaked out .
"Unless you yourself happen to be a very small spider"
How did you know??
The balancing force against spider.

So, what preys on pelican spiders?
I'm here after they announced the terrifying lava spider in mhrise
Vi um treco desses e pensei que era uma formiga
Portia vs pelican
Rakna Kadaki brought me here.
It just holds it there at arms length until it dies... doesn't seem like the best method as spiders last days without food , well I guess if it works it works, they're still here.
I think it had poison in its fangs which it injected into the other spider
Beauty?! Naw! I like spiders but this one gives me the heebie jeebies
When Ezio got 8 legs
They should be bigger to deal with tarantulas and centipedes
Watch the map graphic carefully . . . It doesn't add up. According to the vid, india doesn't have them, but the indian continental plate does until the present day slide
wow science debunked with one comment
Hope they got fired for that blunder.
MH Rise brought me here with Raknah Kadashi.
Birb but its Horror Edition
Ironically its believed to ACTUALLY be extinct now. Great :/
one species is believed to be, there are others, fortunately.
I doubt it is however, as these creatures have been around 140 Million years, this isn't the worst they've seen.
Spiders are a sturdy bunch, so have faith.
WHY NATURE WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE SPIDERS THAT EVEN OTHER SPIDERS FEAR WHY YOU GOTTA DO THIS!
why not
they are kinda cool
atleast for me because you guys have arachnophobia
@@neoxpro12 yea
Looks like a pelican!
......
The king cobra of spiders
What grains of rices ? Long grain??
HIMS HEAD TOO TALL!!!
0:34 It's Australia what you expect?
I'll have one chicken fried pile of pelican spiders please
Madagasker
FUNKY LITTLE GUY
He looks like posh member of spider council
Alien beauty........ right
Ooohhh
Am I the only one here after the latest Monster Hunter trailer?
Hello fellow hunter
Dr Wood gave me wood.
Nope
Yeah those little guy also make you say nope
they are more like anti-nope, they hunt other spiders :)
@supparay brought me here😭
When Allah created Spider and people hated his/her creations. He created another spider this time it was harmless toward anything that was not it's ancestors.
PvP Spider
Good on NY times for posting stuff that isn't about dweebs in politics
Thanks I hate it
Another reason to never go to Australia
She is beautiful
They're so cute
Who's here because of Steve?
I guess you could say its head is always in the clouds. Anyone? OK I'll see myself out
i wish pelican spiders were huge so i can keep them as pets
Who’s here after SUPPARAY14K video?
Lowkey kinda cute 😏
Ewwwwww
Evolution is a joke. This spider remein the same since the beginning of time
50 million years ago is hardly the beginning of time.
"An example I give is when your little brother is trying to hit you so you put your hand on hand on his forehead so he can't reach you" and of course your fingers are venomous fangs and after he dies you liquify his internal organs and tissues and drink them.
Millions of years. Riiiiight......😂😂
