The camel spider is a strange looking spider, however it belongs to the Arachnida class. There are plenty of underspecies of the camel spider spread over Southwest US and South Africa (look at the pictures). The camel spider can move very fast over the desert and can reach a size of 6 inch ! This "little" spider is harmless and normaly doesn't bite andy humans unless you provoke it. The camel spider is a night spider, so actually if you are walking in the desert and you see a Camel Spider it will keep folowing you in your shadow.
This is a little video to give you a good impression of this spider. In the video you can clearly see that it resembles more on a schorpion then on a normal spider.
Camel spiders are probably the most weird looking spiders that can be found on earth. These spiders are not venomous like some of the other spiders but they can look scary with their strange look.
In this fascinating two-volume encyclopedia, author George M. Eberhart provides a comprehensive catalog of nearly 1,000 cryptids—unknown animals usually reported through eyewitness accounts and not yet described by science. Cryptids are the stuff of folklore, hoaxes, and genuine scientific breakthroughs. There are 400 now-classified cryptids once considered either extinct or pure fantasy. The cryptozoologist's job is to strip away the myth, misidentification, and mystery—and separate fact from fiction.
