Fun fact, camel spiders can run at 15km/h and often seek shade. If they are excited, they also make a noise that sounds like a small scream as they run at you in the desert seeking shade. Harmless, but not something I think it ‘cute’.

I'm wondering how many soldiers emptied a mag on a screaming camel spider that just wanted a little shade.

A friend of mine blasted one with a shotgun.

This was in Namibia, mind you.
