A spider devouring a big bird??How??

Lately I went surfing in the internet news around to find some interesting news and about some downturn in the economy. I was shocked when I found out about this unimaginal news. A spider devouring a big bird?!??!?!


I read through the news and found out this is a "Goldern Orb Weaver" spider. This picture was taken in someone's backyard in australia and has been confirm that this is picture is real. This spider can grow into a size of an adult palm (referring to australians,not malaysians) at the northen region of australia. I wonder what these spiders eat everyday man, can grow until so big.



This spider usually hunts big insects and therefore it's web is very strong. It's quite normal for this spider to devour a small bird but this happen rarely. What they found out that is, it is devouring a big bird called "Chestnut Breasted Mannikin".


All I can say that is, this is one hell of a lucky spider.

p.s: These pictures were taken from the news web (credits to the news web) and for more information, please click here.
