The so called «giant spider», also known as the Congolese Giant Spider is a cryptid named J'ba Fofi by the Baka tribe, in the Republic of Cameroon in Central Africa.
Apparently, native african tribes in the Congo basin have knowledge of enormous spiders for a long time; allegedly these spiders have an aprox. leg span of 1 to 1.5 metres, and are responsible for the death of small dogs.
Its status in Cryptology is «Unconfirmed», and it is very doubtful spiders can reach these monstruous size, even with both tracheal and book lungs respiratory system.
If such arachnids ever existed, the Carboniferous period - because of the much higher atmospheric oxigen concentration and absence of large terrestrial predators - would be the right time for its appearance in register fossil.
However, no such spider fossils has (yet) been found.
On the other hand, spider's bodies do not fossilize well because of their quite soft bodies, unlike the 2.5 metres long eurypterids from the same period, which had a hard carapace. So, the spider's fossil register is poor, according to paleontologists.
The earlier register of fossil spiders came from the Triassic-Cretaceous transitional periods, and they were of small size, found preserved in amber.
If there were very large spiders during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, they could not have been preserved in amber, due to their size.
The Congo river basin may still today reserve some surprises in unknown animal species, although the deforestation in many areas of the Republic of Congo, the Republic of Central Africa and Uganda is said by local indigenous tribes to be responsable for the present rarity of these giant spiders.
Giant Spiders can be found in various regions around the world, including rainforests, caves, and deserts. Some common species, such as the Goliath bird-eater and the Huntsman spider, are native to tropical and subtropical areas in South America, Africa, and Australia. These spiders typically prefer warm and humid environments with abundant prey.
