Download- [Derek] For some people,
this room might be the scariest place on earth.
Behind these black curtains are deadly spiders,
(tense ominous music)
hundreds of them.
And what we're gonna do is poke them, make them angry,
and then suction the venom that appears at the end
of their really long fangs.
Well, this is about as close
as I ever want to get to a funnel-web.
And we're doing it for a very good reason.
This is a funnel-web spider.
They live around Sydney,
which just happens to be one of Australia's biggest cities,
and they build underground burrows,
which are distinctive,
because of the funnel shape of the web at the entrance,
hence the name funnel-web.
But because they feel safe in dark, cool places,
they can end up having unexpected run-ins with people.
