How Now Spider Cow
2010
May 19
Can you see it?
The back end of this spider looks like a rear end of a Holstein cow with a bobbed tail.
No? How about a spider living in a fuzzy snail shell?

Which brings me to genetic manipulation. Think of the possibilities. Who wouldn’t want fat free spider milk? Cow silk could replace petroleum based fibers and ease the demand for our limited oil supplies. How about snails with more than one foot on the evolutionary ladder?
But best of all, cocooned mad scientists being able to think about the next thing eating at them.

That is ewwww. I don’t like spiders…cow spiders included…infact anything cow related…right now they are on my S list(-:

Very cool! Any idea as to species? I just posted a rather gruesome spider post today myself. Not sure I like the idea of snails with more feet though…they get around well enough in my garden as it is!

The spider looks fantastic.
It was a cow in its previous life.

You are trying to milk this too much.

You have a sick mind… I like that in a person.

I thought it looked like a cow when I first saw it. Your ideas of genetic manipulation aren’t very far off. They have actually put spider DNA in goats so they can make the milk into strong spider silk. I think they’ll just end up with vampire goats.
