This is the Spider That Lives on the Tallest Mountains on Earth
I'd like to introduce you to the Himalayan Jumping Spider.
This tiny little spider lives high up in the Himalayas and has been found at altitudes as high as 20,000 feet above sea level.
There are no insects that can survive the altitude of these mountains, so the only source of food for the spiders are stray insects that are blown up the mountainside by the wind.
Pretty incredible, right?
