About This File
Skull Island Black Widows live on Skull Island, which can be found off the coast of Sumatra. The foreboding name of the isle derives from the distinctive rocky knoll at the center of the island, which is shaped like a human skull.
This tropical island is home to many bizarre creatures, as well as those thought to be extinct by the rest of the world. In the wild of its homeland, the Skull Island black widow usually feeds on dinosaur young and unwary birds that get caught in its web. Extremely poisonous, one bite is enough to do serious damage, even to a full-grown dinosaur.
Like the domestic black widows we are familiar with, the male of the species is much smaller than the female, and lacking the distinctive red markings of the female. In contrast, however, the marking of the female is not limited to a red hourglass on the underside of her abdomen, it instead circles the entire abdomen.
These enormous arachnids will escape if not carefully monitored, so for the safety of your guests, be sure to use a sturdy fence!
Many thanks to Professor Paul for the idea ^__^
