The natural home of the Tasmanian devil, the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world, is also home to some pretty massive, meat-eating spiders. Tasmania’s own Justine Latton has the pictures to prove it.

Latton and her husband, Adam, were on a road trip to the Mt. Field National Park last weekend when they spotted the giant huntsman spider dangling from a fixture on the wall. More impressive was that the huntsman was feeding on a pygmy possum dangling from its mouth. That’s when she snapped these photos.
