The Giant huntsman spider is huge, but not deadly to humans. Biggest in the world, the Giant Huntsman Spider was just recently discovered in 2001 in a Cave in Laos.
Because of reduced competition from other trees, it tends to thrive in barren soil containing too much sand, gravel, or clay. Growth and development of young trees is rapid, and their longevity can extend to 50-100 years. Siberian Elm is resistant to Dutch Elm disease, which is often fatal to other elms. It is prone to storm damage from wind, snow, and ice (especially the latter), causing breakage of branches and twigs that can litter the ground underneath the tree.
It is a large tree, growing to a height of 30 metres (98 ft) to 50 metres (160 ft) and a trunk diameter of over 2 metres (6.6 ft), which makes it the largest poplar species in the Americas. It is normally fairly short-lived, but some trees may live for up to 400 years (Forbes 2006).A cottonwood discovered in Haines, Alaska set the national record at 101 ft (31 m) tall and 32.5 ft (9.9 m) around. The bark is grey and covered with lenticels, becoming thick and deeply fissured on old trees.t is normally fairly short-lived, but some trees may live for up to 400 years (Forbes 2006).
