Amazonian Giant Centipede
This centipede, which can grow 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30
centimeters) long, is another fierce predator in the Amazon rainforest, feeding
on anything it can kill — insects, tarantulas, small birds, lizards, frogs,
mice, small snakes and even bats. They coil their bodies around their prey,
eating it while it is still alive. Humans, of course, can’t be eaten, but if
they get bitten, the Amazonian
giant centipede can cause pain, chills, fever and
weakness.
