澳大利亚动物园呼吁捐赠毒气漏斗网蜘蛛, 以生产救命的抗毒血清。 Australian zoo appeals for donations of venomous funnel-web spiders to produce life-saving antivenom.

悉尼附近的澳大利亚爬行动物公园呼吁公众捐赠漏斗网蜘蛛以维持其抗毒血清计划。 The Australian Reptile Park near Sydney is calling for public donations of funnel-web spiders to maintain its antivenom program. 这些毒死性很强的蜘蛛对于生产挽救生命的抗血清至关重要;自从1981年抗血清发展以来,没有报告过任何死亡事件。 These highly venomous spiders are crucial for producing life-saving antivenom; no fatalities have been reported since the antivenom's development in 1981. 由于蜘蛛捐赠短缺,动物园敦促公众安全地捕捉和捐赠雄蜘蛛,用一个长勺子在密封和交付给指定中心之前,把它们放入土壤湿润的罐子中。 Due to a shortage of spider donations, the zoo urges the public to safely capture and donate male spiders, using a long spoon to place them in a jar with moist soil before sealing and delivering to designated centers.
