Bagheera kiplingi?

Wow, some scientist out there is as crazy about the Jungle Book as I am. :D

Really awesome find. Is it weird that I think it's a cute spider?

Its interesting that it still had its forward facing predatory eyes. I would think it would adapt to also have the eyes based on the side of the head seeing as it no longer needs forward based eyes. very cool

Absolutely not. That thing is adorible!

Super interesting. I'd like to know if they can study it's physiology more to explain how it eats plants whole like that. Really cool.
