the article says this is only the third sighting of this species in the last 35 years!

these kinds of reports always make me wonder what other species of animal are out there waiting to be discovered...especially tarantulas.

Like the rediscovery of the Ivory Bill or the Coelocanth, we are pretty much clueless in the long run.

Its gone, no one has seen it in like a billion years.....o wait theres three right across the street NVM :liar:

I wish I could be the one to discover the 2.5 foot arboreal Tarantula of DOOM that lives 150 feet up in the canopies of some jungle and only eats small primates

It is good to see species like that once in a blue moon , gives us hope that things will survive even when we are pretty sure we have killed it off.

The world would be a different place if someone found a small colony of Dodo's.

I'm just relieved that it was a sighting of a Sumatran striped rabbit instead of a Sumatran rat-monkey! Those things are bad news!
