50 new spiders discovered in Australia
Not a fan of creepy crawlies? Then, you’ll be horrified to hear that no less than 50 new species of spider have been discovered in Northern Queensland. In the depths of Cape York rainforests, scientists found spiders the size of ants, right up to gigantic tarantulas with legs the size of biros. Whether you’re a fan of our eight-legged friends like Nic or not, there’s no doubt that this is a testament to the importance of rainforests for supporting environmental diversity.
