Looks a bit fake considering the largest spider in the world is the goliath birdeater.

You mean like the legendary camel spider (solifugae) that was apparently found in Iraq?

Not so much spiders but used to be a massive Dinosaur fan. Think I am going to do a degree in Zoology when I go to uni.

Also its perfectly natural for anyone that has a passion to find out the biggest and the smallest of certain types of creature.

Well even if that bird is tiny...i think its pretty amazing (luck) that the spider has caught it... and a fantastic pic

Haha, big up mate. I've got a degree in Zoology. Can spot my own kind with ease!

Stuff like this makes me have a passion for the animal kingdom,

The better technology gets, the better we can study animals. Camera technology that allows detailed pictures like that one, GPS systems to monitoring migraitons, camouflaged cameras to witness animal behaviour never previously seen. It's a fascinating time.

But all animals, from a flea to a whale are absolutely breath taking when you think about it. The way they have all evolved to fill and exploit the various niches in the environment around them is truly astounding.

I just wish some species were able to be bred much more easily like the Panda.

..? What?

Artificial insemination is a fabricated way of reproducing, you don't see animals with tins of liquid nitrogen freezing their own eggs in their natural environment.

When i say i hoped they were bred more easily, I meant they get up and go and do it themselves (almost like rabbits).
