Giant huntsman spider sparks panic at primary school
Giant spider species from Africa jumped out of banana box
A giant huntsman spider sneaks out of a banana box and spreads terror at a London primary school.
According to Daily Mail, a giant spider species from Africa hitched a ride to Britain abroad, the kid’s banana.
A teaching assistant at the school in Croydon, Dani Zenith, said the staff screamed when the big spider leapt out of the banana box.
Zenith, while providing the details of the event, said, “We're just a regular primary school, and we get free produce sent to us from our local council for the children. We were unboxing the bananas to distribute to the classrooms, and out jumped said spider.”
She noted, “It was a huntsman and literally jumped out of the box. It probably jumped three feet.”
Zenith further added, “The office staff and the ladies in their mid-twenties were screaming, and a couple of us older staff members in our forties wondered what was going on. We knew straight away that it wasn't your regular found-indoors giant house spider.”
The creature was a Heteropoda venatoria, a member of Sparassidae family of spider which are famous for their size. This specie is found some 3,000 miles away from the school in Ivory Coast.
