Kiwi Kids News

Today I was reading a story on kiwi kids new about spiders being able to hear us humans speaking or making any noise.
This is strange because spiders do not have ears.
scientists were doing studies on where the sound goes and they found the jumping spider has hairs on its back legs that pick up noise. 
The scientists did a distance check and clapped close to a jumping spider in the recording studio and then got further and further away until the scientist was out of the room which is 5 whole meters away from the spider and it still picked up the sound of the clap.

I found this article interesting because this discovery was found by accident! and the story hooked me into reading it.
