The Pacific Northwest, with its plentiful craft beer, eclectic music scene and mild weather, has always been one of my favourite parts of the US. I've entertained notions of living there maybe, someday, in the home of the Rogue brewery, Powell's bookstore and the Funhouse metal bar. Me and the PNW were pretty much geo-bros.
Until now.
They found a new species of spider. With raptor-like claws. Defined as a "highly refined and specialized predator". Which has apparently evolved right out of my every nightmare.
THEY ARE CALLING IT THE TROGLORAPTOR. (which is objectively cool, and I object to spiders being cool in any way!)
The best part? They have no idea how many of them there are.
