Spiders Actually Have Tiny Paws, and It’s Really Freaky

Most people think spiders are gross and terrifying, but they actually have a feature we usually associate with cute, furry animals: paws!

Whenever people think of spider legs, they usually imagine a sharp point at the end, ready to do some damage. So it’s extra surprising to see them with adorable, furry paws similar to the ones you’d find on cats and dogs!
