The Missouri Department of Wildlife has confirmed 5 individual reports of camel spiders in the Moberly, MO area. Camel spiders stand apart from other common spiders because of their size, often growing larger than a dinner plate. Researchers say the camel spider, which is commonly found in hot, dry climates in the Middle East, will not be able to survive a winter in Missouri, however they will not have any issue surviving the summer months.

The first two reported cases were from families of soldiers who had just returned from Afghanistan. The large, terrifying creatures made their way into the soldiers' luggage and made the journey back to the US without being spotted by customs or airport screening workers. The most recent three instances have not been a result of recent travels outside of the state. Greg Timish, the head of the Mid-Missouri Conservation Department, believes the camel spiders have been reproducing, which while uncommon in this climate, is not entirely impossible.

The Conservation department recommends residents within a 30 mile radius keep small pets indoors until winter time.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
