Spiders don't normally bother me and I'm fine with handling them but there's something unnatural about the way that one moves. That's a "hell no" from me.

Kind of... Crab-like, no?

I wonder if it is more scorpion than spider?

Closer to a whip-spider, I'd say, but it is obviously a species of spider, given that it does have a set of claws.

Because Australia.

Said in Australian:

I've seen Huntsmans bigger than that!

Interesting that the monkey reacts to the screen image, but seems to know it’s not there on the person next to him.

'Megaspider' is biggest of its kind we've ever seen, Australian reptile park says

A massive funnel-web spider with fangs capable of piercing human fingernails has been donated to an antivenom program in Australia, sparking an appeal for its anonymous donor to come forward.

Nicknamed "Megaspider," the arachnid measures 8 centimeters (about 3 inches) foot to foot, with fangs 2 centimeters (about 0.8 inches) long, the Australian Reptile Park said in a statement Friday. With a body measuring 5 centimeters (1.9 inches), it's the largest funnel-web spider the park has ever seen, it added.
"She is unusually large and if we can get the public to hand in more spiders like her, it will only result in more lives being saved due to the huge amount of venom they can produce," said Michael Tate, the park's education officer. "We are really keen to find out where she came from in hopes to find more MASSIVE spiders like her."

I think that sucker is from South America... Bird Eater... too furry to be a huntsman.

There’s a reason they are called MEALworms…

Don't Freak Out About the Giant Spiders That Will Drop From the Sky This Summer

Their size, venomousness, and ability to rain from the sky have all been highly exaggerated.

Good thing I was already sitting on the potty, else my drawers may be messy.
