Newly discovered spider species somersaults away from danger A new species of spider that cartwheels its way along the Moroccan desert has been discovered, according to a study published in Zootaxa. Cebrennus rechenbergi is being called the flic-flac spider for its somersaulting moves that are triggered when it feels threatened. So far, the spider has only been found in the Erg Chebbi area of Morocco. The spider has inspired a robot model mimicking its movement. newswatch.nationalgeographic/2014/05/06/new-species-spiders-animals-weird-environment-science-flic-flac/
