The great egret (Ardea alba), also known as the common egret, large egret, or in the Old World, great white egret or great white heron, is a large, widely distributed egret. The four subspecies are found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe. It spreads to more northern areas of Europe. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, it builds tree nests in colonies close to water. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)

    Animal India - Heteropoda Venatoria

    Huntsman spiders (Heteropoda venatoria) are a species of large spiders in the family Sparassidae, found in warm and tropical areas of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas. They are named for their speed and hunting mode. Native to tropical regions of the world, their common names include giant crab spider and cane spider. Huntsman spiders use venom to immobilize prey and are known to inflict serious defensive bites on humans. The female Huntsman produces a flat, oval egg sac of white papery silk, laying up to 200 eggs. During this period, the female can be quite aggressive and will rear up in a defensive display if provoked. Huntsman spider bites can cause nausea, headaches, vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and sometimes even heart palpitations. A female Huntsman spider was observed carrying its egg sac under its body in a corner and door of a house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 01/06/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
