S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
This is the Australian peacock jumping spider,
0:06
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
a miracle mover who can't afford to put a foot wrong.
0:10
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
He's
0:14
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
only the size of a grain of rice.
0:17
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
Yes,
0:20
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
he's that small,
0:21
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
which
0:26
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
in a place like this means almost anything could be dangerous.
0:30
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
But
0:38
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
in fact, the biggest threat of all is the female he's after.
0:48
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
The silken road to finding her is littered with the remains of unsuccessful
0:52
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
suitors.
0:53
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
A stark
0:57
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
warning that if he doesn't get this right,
0:59
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
it could be his last day on the planet.
1:02
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
She
1:16
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
ambushes him from behind.
1:17
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
Now,
1:21
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
what can he do to win her over?
1:23
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
Dance.
1:32
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
Dance for his very life.
1:35
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
He
1:40
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
unfurls his striking fan and begins his routine.
1:50
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
Its elaborate shape and vibrant colors resemble a tiny
1:54
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
peacock's tail.
1:55
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
But
2:04
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
even his party outfit and his best moves aren't impressing her.
2:08
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
Time to step it up a level.
2:12
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
As
2:23
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
is so often the case in the mating game,
2:25
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
it's not the males,
2:26
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
but the females who call the shots.
2:29
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
The
2:34
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
more compelling the dance,
2:35
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
the more likely she is to accept his advances.
2:42
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
This mating ritual can go on for up to 50 minutes.
2:46
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
But at
2:50
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
last, his performance is rewarded,
2:53
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
and they mate.
2:54
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
He's
3:03
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
done his bit and satisfied her needs.
3:05
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
But now,
3:06
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
her need is over.
3:08
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
So,
3:11
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
she kills him anyway.
3:12
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
After all,
3:15
S…
Speaker 1 (videoplayback)
his body will be the perfect nourishment for their eggs.
