It just came to my attention...
 

That modern day spiders were evolved from something called "euripterids". These were prehistoric marine creatures which could measure 9 feet in length. As if that's not crazy enough, take a look at their fossil remains...

Not just Iraq. They also live many other places in the world, including The United States. Although as scarey as hell, they are no threat to humans or indeed camels :upsidedow
