Any Tarantula documentaries available or about spiders/inverts that feature T's that are worth a watch? Freely available would be a plus
Bob now you're being buzzkill for the new people, don't you know we need them to use critical thinking skills to determine if a 50 foot radioactive tarantula is real or not. I'm disappointed Bob!I don't like tarantula documentaries (least the ones I've seen)... Most of the footage is staged (including forcing creatures that wouldn't normally come across eachother to fight) and misinformation is spread.
If we let them do that, there would be more "I cin't fimd wear to bye my riodaktvie charatula plies hilp¿?¡!" than "My t is dying HELP!!" threads.don't you know we need them to use critical thinking skills to determine if a 50 foot radioactive tarantula is real or not.
The second one I clicked on just now said a 5ft (length) T exists.... ::sigh::I prefer the ones that are, you know...about the animals, not the people. The ones of wildlife footage with narration explaining what is happening are the kind I like.
There is some footage that is legitimate and cool, like finding Pterinochilus lugardi in the wild...I prefer the ones that are, you know...about the animals, not the people. The ones of wildlife footage with narration explaining what is happening are the kind I like.
Yes that's exactly the type of thing I'm trying to avoid on YouTube. That and large tarantula toys chasing dogs etc lolI don't like tarantula documentaries (least the ones I've seen)...

The one I just linked is very nice (though I don't recommend to anyone to try and grab an OW with bare hands).Yes that's exactly the type of thing I'm trying to avoid on YouTube. That and large tarantula toys chasing dogs etc lol
I couldn't agree more. The ones I see now are terrible compared to what I grew up with, just terrible. Entertaining the masses, keep them complacent.....Long story short, most documentaries - no matter the topic - aren't worthy of bearing that designation.
The purpose shifted from educational to entertainment by 100%.
Watched this today. Pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation!There is some footage that is legitimate and cool, like finding Pterinochilus lugardi in the wild...
But unfortunately the majority are not very... enlightening.
The worst show ever made is "Monster Bug Wars" they literally do exactly that. Only they add sound effects of pigs and other animals squealing. As if a spider or insect could growl in that way... imagine what the uneducated viewers must think.I don't like tarantula documentaries (least the ones I've seen)...
