Balanced News: Gold prospector scoops up venomous animal in ‘stupidly remote’ bush

Gold prospector Chris Bogusis accidentally disturbed the burrow of a venomous Australian spider in the remote bush and the animal was thankfully “quite docile”. The spider has similar toxins to the Sydney funnel-web and is highly venomous. Bogusis started prospecting full-time about seven years ago after “dabbling” with it growing up and his most dangerous animal encounter didn’t happen Down Under, it happened while walking through a university in British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province.
