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.
Description: The Arctic willow is the northernmost woody plant in the world! The Arctic willow is a very small creeping willow. It has dull leaves that are pale green with long, white hairs towards the tip. The Arctic willow also has rooting branches. It only grows to be about 1-15 cm (0.39-5.9 in) in height. The male and female catkins (flower clusters) are on separate plants. The Arctic willow grows in the tundra and on rocky moorland (upland areas). Its habitat is in the harsh Arctic environments. Even in these harsh conditions the Arctic willow is a long-lived plant that grows extremely slow. In Greenland there was an Arctic willow found to be 236 years old. There are many Arctic animals that feed on the Arctic willow, such as: muskox, caribou, Arctic hare, ptarmigan and lemmings. The bark, twigs, and seeds are consumed. The Inuit make use of the Arctic willow as well.
