Still Waters Posted October 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Over 350 million years, spiders have evolved some impressive skills. Size for size, if spiders were as big as humans, some of these skills could be considered superhuman. http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/zc472hv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Smoke aLot Posted October 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I never knew that some spiders can dive and survive even for few days underwater, in the air bubble. Just wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qxcontinuum Posted October 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I am never ceased to be amazed how handicapped we humans are if we are about to compare our powers to those found in the animal kingdom.

+Hammerclaw Posted October 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Spiders are the most beautiful awesome creatures in the world, that come in many varieties and have remarkable skills,and an an ancient lineage, that I always step on, crush, mangle and poison. As long as they are just on Youtube, they're cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Kitten Posted October 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 26, 2014 If spiders evolved to be bigger, they would lose much of their physical traits. They only look the way they do because of their size and how they live. They might not grow bigger than a child of four, and would develope much more hair like fur. Furry, big eyed cutesies! They would look much like this, the Bachuru spiders: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightLady Posted October 26, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Spiders are the most beautiful awesome creatures in the world, that come in many varieties and have remarkable skills,and an an ancient lineage, that I always step on, crush, mangle and poison. As long as they are just on Youtube, they're cool. They are amazing and the webs beautiful. I have seen many after a rain and how they held up might put a mason to shame. When the light hits the rain drops on them it's like glistening diamonds. I generally use a glass and move them out side or deposit them on a plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogbin Posted October 30, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Do spiders have super powers? No. But maybe if we were to cover them in radioactive waste like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were, this would change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
