"Well Cry-key. Look at these furry little fellas. Simply a beautiful little creature if I must say so myself."

Giant Camel Spider

This creature is called the Giant Camel Spider. According to sources, it resides in Iraq. At night it sits and waits for the soldiers to sleep. And then, it bites them. Alright, that's a joke. But a soldier was actually bitten by one of the little buggers.

Giant Camel Spiders can run up to 10 MPH or Miles Per Hour. Apparently, these little guys also like shade I guess it makes sense when a solider is bitten by one of the little guys which is probably trying to just cool down a bit.

Actually, it's a myth and a joke amongst soldiers. My friend who had been in Iraq for almost 2 years told me about this one. Really the spiders are not as big, do not run that fast, and won't harm humans.

Also, the picture itself is set up to make the spider look bigger than it really is. Look closely and you will acually see 16 legs...spiders have 8. In reality, the photo os of TWO spiders, one latched onto the other's back end. It was just a photo made by a group of soldiers to make the spider look bigger than it is in order to freak people out back home.
