THIS amazing image of a mammoth spider devouring a bird was taken in the backyard of a property near Cairns.

The image, which is being cirulated via email worldwide, is real, according to wildlife experts, The Cairns Post reported.

The photo, believed to have been taken earlier this week, shows the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web at a property near Atherton, west of Cairns.

Joel Shakespeare, the head spider keeper at NSW’s Australian Reptile Park, said the spider was a golden orb weaver.

“Normally they prey on large insects, it’s unusual to see one eating a bird,” he said.

Mr Shakepeare said he had seen golden orb weaver spiders as big as a human hand but the northern species in tropical areas were known to grow larger.

Mr Shakespeare said the bird, a chestnut-breasted mannikin which appears frozen in an angel-like pose in the pictures, is likely to have flown into the web and got caught.

“It wouldn’t eat the whole bird,” he said.

Henson on board for puppet murder mysteryPosted 50 minutes ago
The Jim Henson Company has picked up a spec script that may signal a daring turn into adult territory for the company behind Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear.The Happytime Murders is a film noir murder mystery that will fall under the company’s Henson Alternative banner, a division that develops projects not intended for children.Brian Henson, co-CEO of the Jim Henson Company and one of the late puppeteer’s sons, is on board to direct.The story takes place in a world where humans and puppets co-exist, with the puppets viewed as second-class citizens.When the puppet cast of an 80s children’s TV show called The Happytime Gang begins to get murdered one by one, a disgraced puppet LAPD detective turned private eye – with a drinking problem, no less – takes on the case.The script was written by Todd Berger from a story he worked on with Dee Austin Robertson.This would not be the first time that Henson has delving into more adult fare.In 1982, the company made The Dark Crystal, which featured a dark tone and – in one scene – nudity. But Happytime will also have an absurdist and comedic quality to it, comparable to Broadway’s Avenue Q.- Reuters
