Camel Spider v.s. Lizard
 

We saw some camel spider pictures a while back that made us cry in our sleep. Watching a video of a camel spider eating a lizard is pretty much the scariest thing ever: http://www.fazed.org/video/view/?id=85

If that wasn't enough for you, there's more of the same to be found here:

They are living things of course! :)

Dammit spiders are far from being my favourite creatures and that one is just too scary...
If anyone asks I´m curled up in my bed crying too,thanks...

I don't blame you one bit! :(

that is one fuckin creepy ass video!

Isn't it though! The thing just sits there calmy feeding and totally ignoring the lights and people...Like the "don't bother me I'm eating" commercial - dayum that niggas hardcore!!! :Oh crap

Anyone have a video download? these embedded wmv's never play for me.

Didn't find it that scary, must be because of my sleep-deprived numb zombie state..

Thanks for the link SPANNOW:

OMG that was gruesome.

I still can't believe there is spiders the size of dogs. :Oh crap

"Most people don't know that the camel spider can also be found in the southwest U.S. and Mexico. While the recent buzz is all about the Middle Eastern camel spider, its North American cousin has no shortage of tall tales."

ewww that so scary...

I can only imagine what my lady would do if she was to see one of those, she already fights to survive against our regular house spiders :)

I was in the middle of the desert in Saudi and those things were EVERYWHERE!
As soon as the sun set you would see them coming out en masse, it looked like the ground started moving there were so many of them. They would come onto our flightline and you couldn't help but step on a few. Some would get really brave and follow you around and rear up on their back legs and look like they wanted to fuck with you.
We would catch one and put it in a tank with a scorpion. The spider usually won.

THat's hardcore right there

haha I'd love to get my hands on few of those things just to scare the hell out of friends

you guys are nuts.. whats the big fucking deal? it's small and it's eating a small lizard.. like you've never seen the tarantula eating the mouse in someone's sig here.

It's a pretty big deal when you are in the desert and one of those fuckers decides to crawl up in your sleeping bag. You don't initially feel them on you if you are asleep because they will numb the area and suck on your blood all night. Friend of mine woke up with a hole in his leg. :helpme

Dre

That is old but cool :thumbsup

from what i remember those fuckers are fast too.

:1orglaugh

Smells like bullshit!!

wrong. Your friend is having fun at your expense.

That is one bad ass spider!

I was expecting to see Sam and Frodo walk in front of the camera

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

thats insane

Camel spiders are like 10x the size of a tarantula. Thus the reason for everyone makign such a big deal. The video doesnt really bother me though.

One big-ass spider!
