What’s Crawling in Jungle X-Pedition: Meet Arachnidia

Five years before Professor Rovin Jay and his team discovered the temple, Reptilian, another mysterious temple was discovered by Dr. Maria Estrada in Jungle X-Pedition 12 years ago in 2010. Because this temple was seen to be a multi-armed mechanism, resembling a creature like a spider and spins around continuously, Dr. Estrada and her team dedicated the temple to the Goliath Tarantula and chose to name the temple Arachnidia.

In Spring 2022, the X-plorers of Jungle X-Pedition who are brave enough will get their chance to climb aboard Arachnidia and take a wild, web-spinning ride on the temple dedicated to all the tarantulas crawling around Jungle-X-Pedition.

Check out the video below for a behind the scenes look at the findings by Dr. Estrada and her team at the Whey Foundation:

If you experience arachnophobia, a visit to Arachnidia will have you over your fear in no time!

Are you ready to take a wild, web-spinning ride on Arachnidia in 2022?
