Asrokhel Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Scientists in the United States say they have found a new family of spiders in the caves of California and Oregon. It is the first such discovery in North America for more than 140 years. Spanning more than seven centimetres with its legs extended, the 'Trogloraptor' or 'cave robber' has pointed fearsome claws. Curator of Arachnology at the California Academy of Sciences, Charles Griswold, told the Today programme presenter Sarah Montague that the discovery marked a "historic moment".

Detection Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 For some reason my brain ignored the 'spider' part of the title and I thought 'dinosaurs' :p Alera 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Cool spider, but Goldie would eat one before it knew what hit it. A rather territorial gal she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
