A healthy human's blood pressure is the same as a spider's! In 1948, Idaho airlifted 76 beavers to a new, more secluded habitat via parachute! No buzz biz! William Prouty of Oklahoma has a collection of more than 100 giant hornet nests!

I would like to see the reference to this claim. Spiders have an open circulatory system. No reference I can find has a listing of their blood pressure!

To take a spider’s blood pressure, first you get a teeny, tiny little cuff -

I think the Idaho beavers probably came out of that experience better than the turkeys did in that episode of “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
