A reptile park in Australia says this one is the biggest of its kind they’ve ever seen.

It’s hairy, dark in color and measures eight centimeters from foot to foot.

But the real threat from this guy is its nearly inch-long fangs, which are sharp enough and strong enough to pierce a human fingernail.

It was donated anonymously to an anti-venom program in Australia.

The Australian Reptile Park said Megaspider’s fangs will be milked for venom that can be turned into anti-venom.
