How a tarantula builds a trapdoor lid on its burrow

This video shows the incredible task of building a trapdoor lid on a tarantulas burrow. The whole process took 13 hours to complete. One of the most significant moments to enjoy is when the tarantula uses its fangs as a pick tool to dig out some soil. The editing was extremely challenging, most “still“ scenes had to be trimmed out of the video to allow it to be shortened to 8 minutes. Enjoy.
