Known for eating other spiders, Portia is a genus of the jumping spider that is able to leap up to 50 times her own body length. Captured by stunning close up footage, we get to witness this amazing spider use its super powers to dine on prey three times her size.

cannibalism

I once saw a jumping spider bite the back of a friend's leg, and as he said ouch watch it jump off his leg and into the grass.
if i went to a forest im taking a racket with me because i can hit them back bitch stop jumping
Now if I told you there are two sci-fi series that make these guys even smarter, bigger, and make a space faring civilization…almost 80% of you guys would be NOPE. Also when hear INTO THE SPIDERVERSE…Spider-Man got nothing on the nightmare fuel it could become in heart. Just the number of epic spiders to make into characters would be enough to make spidey run screaming. Especially if Portia was his enemy. Laughing evil. Mwa ha ha.
EPIC
Most disgusting and horrifying thing on this planet… thinking and jumping spider. I can't watch it any longer.
This thing ain’t real
While I was watching a video I saw a big black spider walking on the wall and going under the table. Looked under the table and there he was, in the corner. Two days later he didn't move, he was dead.
Very strange.
I hate ths btchs. ?????
ninja spider cool 🙂
Very impressive, the abseiling was really something
And now this kids is real education not school
1:57 her movement looks like those old cartoons for kids
Yo I cant tell if the spider is real oder not.
The spider looks so fake sometimes
Like 1:47 there’s no way that’s a real spider
How did they film this
Dear God
It’s 3am why am I here
I want to know where this spider live so i can never go there
So this is Ethan Hunt of spider i guess.
as much as i hate the BBC for their political brainwashing and propogands, ill give them their credit for their nature documentaries. These people are skilled at media production.
damn how did they make this so epic 😮
Why he sound like the narriator from Wizard 101.
If these spiders were the size of a Coke can- we'd all be shriveled carcasses.
OH SHI A SPI
????????
Yeah nope…
Oh hell naw nope.
I was like why is the Spider names Porsche but then i read Portia xD
I think I’m in the minority here, but I’d much prefer this without the fake twanging and robot extension / missions impossible sound effects. Sir David Attenborough’s inflections are entertaining enough.
It should be enough just to marvel at nature as it is. Soundtracks overload the info with anthropomorphic undertones, or worse, Hollywood type faux storylines.
I hate to be a killjoy but this footage is already so good.
The fact that it can jump is a big nope for me. Fuuuuuuucccckkkkk nooo
That is one amazing creature..
why is he making this spider sound smarter then humans XD
I love anything this guy narrates on. Forget his name tho
Special elite spider
* mission impossible theme plays *
the 200 iq plays
2:21 that was so anti climactic
*insert me shooting the spider"
PORTIA IS THE BEST NAME EVER AWWW
What if insects were aliens that traveled here from other planets lol
