i put a post on here tlaking about how arachnid's exoskeletons are too heavy to be supported by their insides at size over the tarantula,
BUT
i just realized last night i totally forgot about something
there used to be a species of arachnid known as the sea scorpion, they are extinct NOW but they used to live before the dinosaurs, maybe during also,
i'm not sure but definitely before, they could be about 6 feet long, and they basically were just scorpions ( scorpions are arachnids like spiders )
that lived underwater, bnecause their exoskeleton could be held up with ease under water they grew huge,
PERHAPS it's possible they are NOT extince but hide somewhere on earth where we have not found them, and THAT is what your friend saw? or maybe a
government has found a way to secretly brew them back to life haha who knows
but my point is not to discredit this story like i did earlier ina post just because it is impossible for an exoskeleton bearing creature to be that
big on land, who knows it could have been a huge water dweling spider or scorpion that has the ability to stand otu of water breifly and that was the
moment it was seen. i mean it WAS seen in a sewer if i remember correctly right?
