Camel Spiders aren't spiders or scorpions, they are a different kind of Arachnid called Sulifugids. The front pair of "legs" are actually modified antenna called pedipalps.

I don't care how clichƩ it is - the cockroach is the sickest thing living. And proof that God wasn't the only one making animals.

I foresee a new pet in the Dagonee household--a rhino squirrel. It's cute, but clearly not a suck-up.

For the purposes of this competition, I would nominate the rabid racoon that bit me last February. For visuals, I will just say it was toothy, furry, about the size of a toaster, and hissed profusely.

Nope, the shots were administered in the arm or the butt. The horrible part was having the wounds (bites, slashes) injected with immunoglobulin.
