Fittingly named Hemsworth, the spider spans 9.2 centimeters (about 3.6 inches) from foot to foot, according to the Australian Reptile Park.
He is the biggest spider,” said the park’s spider keeper Emma Teni, in a video posted on its official Facebook page.
The spider Hemsworth was handed in at one of the park’s drop-off locations in Newcastle, a coastal city around 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Sydney.
According to the Australian Museum, the average length of a funnel-web spider’s body is 1 to 5 centimeters, with male spiders typically smaller than females.
Only male funnel-web spiders are milked as they are about six times more venomous than females.
