That one was running through the camp site so it was a lucky sighting. The other big spider I saw at Tsendze was actually a Huntsman Spider.Pumbaa wrote:Rally love your hyaenas, BluTuna,

Our patience was rewarded and the princess appeared.

She ripped off a chunk of meat and departed.

But she was back 5 minutes later.

I think she was getting frustrated with the position of the carcass and she tried to pull it down. She got a good grip and started to tug.
![Image](https://africawild-forum.com/images/ext/2ebd9dadeb19ba88705d04a3123087e8.jpg)
She was tugging so hard that her back feet came off the tree.
![Image](https://africawild-forum.com/images/ext/4e8d3ac3c1797028c57b6abd59e4cb09.jpg)
And then she lost her grip and fell.
We waited a while longer but she didn't reappear so we went back to the bridge for a golden sunset.
