Australian scientists discover larger species of deadly funnel web spiders

Australian scientists have newly classified a bigger species of the Sydney funnel web spider, one of the world's deadliest, saying the new species could inject more venom, in research released on Jan. 13, 2025. The new funnel web species has earned the nickname of 'Big Boy' and was first discovered in the early 2000s near Newcastle, 170 km (105 miles) north of Sydney, by Kane Christensen, a spider enthusiast and former head of spiders at the Australian Reptile Park.
