The 50-foot arachnid -- dubbed "La Princess" -- made its debut Sept 2, shocking British commuters, who emerged from a railroad station to see the three-story critter clutching the side of one of Liverpool's biggest buildings.
The French arts collective La Machine created this critter as part of Liverpool's European Capital of Culture program. The group earlier created a 36-foot-tall robot elephant as a piece of street theater.
La Machine worked 18 months in secrecy planning this big surprise.
