Spider: 1 - Mouse: 0

If you've just arrived in Australia, you might want to avoid watching this video or you'll end up packing your suitcase right away.

But if you've been here for a while, you're prepared mentally for this (or at least we hope).

A man from Queensland, Jason Womal, filmed this huntsman spider carrying the body of a mouse up the fridge of his neighbour in Coppabella.

Yes, a whole mouse, that the spider was probably going to devour.

Being a real Aussie bloke, Jason was not scared at all, even saying it was "so cool".

The video was seen over 16 millions times.

After the bloodthirsty magpie video and this, we're slowly starting to look at plane tickets to go somewhere far, far away. Antarctica seems like the perfect option.
