There were lots of exaggerated stories floating around the emails with this photo. They are one big ugly 8-legged freak....but no threat to humans. They don't eat Camels either. They can run 10 mph and will eat a scorpion...so these guys could be fun to leash and keep as desert guard dogs.
They are about the size of a child's hand to a grown mans hand. We have them here in the US deserts as well. If you have been in our own deserts...there are some gnarly creatures out there, but this spider is only gonna freak you out...not hurt you. They are quite decent about eating you. They first inject a local anesthetic in your belly flesh, so you don't even feel them eating away your flesh, and you usually don't realize anything until you start stepping on the intestines you are dragging. :?

I saw plenty of camel spiders but those photos are all exagerated to make them look Huge.
It's like catching a fish and holding it in your hands with outstretched arms which make it look Big :P Nastiest creature was the Damned scorpion
