Funnel web spider DVDs?
I was recently asked if there are any funnel web spider DVDs or videos available. I would have thought that there’d be heaps coz funnel web spiders are totally killer! But it turns out that stills photographers have more guts than their namby-pamby moving picture brethren.
I could not find very many videos or DVDs at all (but plenty of books). The only one I could find that specifically mentioned funnel web spiders was: “Killer Instincts - Natural Born Killers“, not to be confused with the Woody Harrelson movie of the same name.
I’m pretty sure that funnel webs are featured on other Australian or “creepy animals” documentaries, but I couldn’t find anything else which specifically mentioned funnel webs. No doubt you’d find something amongst Steve Irwin’s catalog of videos, maybe his Discovery Channel stuff? I searched the Discovery Channel site but couldn’t find any - maybe you’ll have better luck.
The “Killer Instincts - Natural Born Killers” DVD sounds worth it anyway - it also includes the deadly Taipan and box jelly fish as well as other Aussie killers (it probably doesn’t include Ivan Milat though). It’s also out of print and considered a collector’s item - but pretty cheap at between $US5.75 and $US14.99!
