A woman in Australia, has saved a huge spider from drowning in floodwaters and people are freaking out! The woman, Andrea, uploaded the video to Facebook of the HUGE spider clinging to thin branches above rising water. She was outside of a supermarket when she saw the spider struggling to hang on as flood waters rushed below. She used a branch to take it to a nearby dry patch. The spider is an eastern tarantula also known as the “bird-eating” spider. As you can imagine… the internet freaked out!!

 Reactions to the huge eight-legged monster are mixed, to say the least.

• hmm the teatowel over my shoulder just brushed against my neck and i jumped

• i have had some time to think about this and i’ve decided: forget the big spider

• maybe their kindness will be remembered when the Arachnids take over
