Saw this little critter on the trail when hiking in Big Bend. It's some kind of tarantula. This video was shot in November in Big Bend National Park where the temperature was still quite warm even in the mountains. We discovered later that there were actually two tarantulas. At the very beginning of the video you can see a small hole (black spot) on the left side of the frame. There was another tarantula down the hole. Not sure if this was a territorial battle between two males or a mating and/or courtship...or possibly a combinations of both. If you can identify what kind of tarantula it is, leave a comment below.
