Hi!
My name is Pat van Oss, and I'm currently attending UW-La Crosse for a
degree in Biology with a Biomedical concentration, and a minor in
Spanish. I chose to make my webpage about Atrax robustus because I had read in my preliminary research that there were
unconfirmed reports that the spider's fangs are capable of penetrating a
human fingernail! I ended up confirming these with a few sources
(see
for a really cool
video), and I'm now utterly convinced that the Sydney Funnel-web is the
coolest spider in the world! There are a lot of other cool organisms out there, and hopefully this site will
encourage you to explore some of the diverse life forms on this planet.
Hey, by the way, check out
to get a look at
some other cool life forms on sites made by other UW-L students like me!
