I'm the only one who thinks this is stupid?
Ok, i know Megarachne servinei wasn't a spider, was an aquatic crustacean related to the brontoscorpions and everything, and that the biggest spider that ever existed is T. Blondi, LP or whatever you like to discuss.
But let's just imagine it was a spider and existed like BBC Walking With Monsters showed, ok? (in terms of appearance) I don't think ANY spider would behave like showed on the series. I mean, it's like it thinks "If i get on that hole on the top i will kill it" And it attacks the lizard like Sweeney Todd killing judge Turpin. Walks like a dog loosen from its chain, keeps stridulating for no reason and can't stop quiet. Runs half of the forest after the lizard.
I don't know, i want truly arachnophiles opinions.
Link to the BBC video. There is another one with a small participation from the spider but it's not very pertinent:

EDIT: The reason they put a non-existing animal in the series was because the Megarachne was wrongly classified as a spider, the episode was produced, and in the final phase of the producing it was correctly reclassified as a protoscorpion cousin or something.
