The South American Centipede

The South American Centipede is one strange creature. Also called the Giant Scolopenders this centipede is the longest in the world! While it is growing it will shed its skin much like a snake, but with one creepy twist. It will then devour its own recently shed exoskeleton! This centipede can grow over a foot in length and can feed on creatures as large as an iguana. Take a look at the video below for more information about this 100 legged creature...

The Cycle Of Life In Deer Cave

A very interesting look at how nature survives even without the mighty power of the sun. Instead this massive cave runs all on droppings. I guess one creatures trash really is another's treasure! I certainly hope you have never seen this many cockroaches in one place...



The cave is also home to giant centipedes which you can see more of here!

Giant Centipede Vs. Tarantula And Other Creatures

Watch as this giant centipede used it's venom to win the battle verses the bigger tarantula... just amazing footage! I don't think I would want to be the one with the camera on that trip...



If you think that video was something you haven't seen anything yet! As you can tell a centipede can certainly be a deadly predator, just watch as it makes quick work of this poor defenseless cricket...



And now for the grand daddy centipede of them all over 13 inches long... these big fellows actually snatch bats right out of the air! I wouldn't want to run into one of these any time soon!
