    Researchers at the Natural History Museum in San Diego, Mexico, along with other local Mexican and Brazilian experts, have discovered a new species of giant spider in Baja California Seam in northern Mexico, western media said.
    the spider, also known as "Califorctenus Cacachilensis", is similar in size to the American Taranto venom and likes to hide in caves with large coffee-colored legs and a furry brown belly.
    when faced with a threat, its eight eyes are fixed on the front, and two huge red fangs indicate that it is not a bully.
    first time I saw it, I was shocked by its size," The Spanish newspaper Al-17 reported on April 17.
    Luisa Jimenez, an expert at the Center for Biological Research in northeastern Mexico who was involved in the study, said.
    researchers discovered the spider as early as 2013 in the Kakachiras Mountains on the outskirts of La Paz, the capital of Baja California Suraja.
    After comparing them, the researchers determined that it was a no-night spider, and eventually they found more than 20 new species of spiders with huge bones in an abandoned coal mine, and brought back eight of them for observational studies, which took four years to determine the new discovery.
    study was published in the Journal of Animal Classification.
    found that the spider is poisonous, but not toxic, and not deadly to humans.
    "I was bitten while studying one of them, but I live to this day.
    ," said jim Berian, a researcher.
    noted that although the spider's toxicity has not been studied in depth, all indications are that it is much less toxic than that of its Amazon cousin, the Brazilian wandering spider.
    not surprising to find new species of spiders, but most of them are small spiders or spiders that do not have such special properties, according to the report.
    experts are heartened by the discovery of spiders in the Kakachiras Mountains, a rare new species of the same size.
