A rare species of giant spiders, known as great raft spiders, is making a comeback in the UK. According to conservationists, thousands of these arachnids have been intentionally bred and released into protected wetlands over the years. The population recovery is attributed to intense conservation efforts by scientists. Despite claims of 10,000 "giant" spiders on the loose, experts say there's no reason for fear as they typically inhabit unpolluted or alkaline canals and fens.
