Spiders

0:00:02 > 0:00:04# At the end of the day When the adventure is done

0:00:04 > 0:00:06# There's time to learn And it's tonnes of fun

0:00:06 > 0:00:09# Come and join me There's cool stuff to do

0:00:09 > 0:00:12# I've got a window to the world And some funny friends too

0:00:12 > 0:00:15# Andy's Secret Hideout

0:00:15 > 0:00:17# It's a magical place with so much to see

0:00:17 > 0:00:20# Andy's Secret Hideout

0:00:20 > 0:00:22# Come and hide out with me. #

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Hello, and welcome to my Secret Hideout.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32I don't know what's going on today, but there are

0:00:32 > 0:00:35loads of spiders in my hideout, like this spider.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36His name's Goldie.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38He's a golden orb.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40He's a beauty, isn't he?

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Some people get the heebie-jeebies when it come to spiders,

0:00:44 > 0:00:49mainly because of their spooky webs, and hairy legs, and their many eyes.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51But I love spiders!

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Spiders are often very small,

0:00:53 > 0:00:56but they have to catch prey that are a lot larger than they are,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59and get away from animals trying to eat them up,

0:00:59 > 0:01:02so they need lots of tricks up those eight sleeves.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Some have big fangs,

0:01:04 > 0:01:07some have really sticky webs,

0:01:07 > 0:01:11and some kick spiky hairs off their body to keep animals away.

0:01:11 > 0:01:16There's another spider that definitely belongs in my hideout,

0:01:16 > 0:01:19because it loves to hide, especially in tunnels.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23It'll stay in the tunnel and then it'll jump out in a surprise attack.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25The question is,

0:01:25 > 0:01:27are you brave enough to meet it?

0:01:27 > 0:01:32Trap-door spiders hide in little tunnels, behind trap doors,

0:01:32 > 0:01:35and if they feel anything small walking past,

0:01:35 > 0:01:36like a beetle,

0:01:36 > 0:01:38they jump out to grab it.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43And did you know that there's a spider that's just like a cowboy?

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Yee-haw!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47I'm a cowboy spider! Yee-haw!

0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's called a bolas spider,

0:01:51 > 0:01:54and while it stays pretty hidden during the day,

0:01:54 > 0:01:59at night it dangles a long line of sticky web and swings it around

0:01:59 > 0:02:02to lasso and catch passing moths.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Isn't that amazing?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Now we're going to do something really cool. Ready?

0:02:08 > 0:02:12This is one of my all-time favourite spiders.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's a tarantula.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19It looks like it's walking along the bottom of the screen - look!

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Join me next time for another adventure,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25here in my Secret Hideout.
