Hikers from Mexico came across a small cave with what appeared to be a hairy mass inside — the explorers decided to poke the object, capturing the process on film.

Hundreds of spiders suddenly poured out of the seemingly furry nest, rushing across the grass towards the cameraman. 

"Yesterday exploring Alamos, Sonora… what appeared to be an animal sleeping in a cave turned out to be something more amazing!" the author of the video said on Twitter.
