Part 7/11:
Jumping into the Jurassic period, we meet another terrifying inhabitant: the Mongolarachne jurassica. As the largest known fossilized spider, this creature would have terrified anyone familiar with their modern relatives. Although they may not have been significantly larger than contemporary species in terms of size, these arachnids held many similarities to modern spiders in behavior and hunting techniques.
Observational comparisons suggest that the Mongolarachne used intricate webs to capture prey, employing tactics honed over millennia in their hunting arsenal, proving that the ancient world held far more than mere size; it held cunning and intelligence as well.
