Australia's huntsman fastest spider recorded in new study
- Anyone who has experienced a brown huntsman run at them knows these spiders are fast, but a new study says they may actually be one of the swiftest in the world.
- The study, a preprint published on bioRxiv which is yet to be peer-reviewed, analysed the speeds of 258 species of spiders from new experiments and past research.
- Australia's brown huntsman's medium size and relatively long legs were found to give it an edge in running past its competition.
