When natures surprises you

Sometimes my friends and I play games like who would win between a hippo and a shark in shallow water? Or a porcupine and an eagle? Or a chicken and a mole?

Along these lines, my brother sent me a link to an interesting article - a spider eating a bird!!! I think it is safe to assume that most people would pick a bird over a spider in the war of nature game. But all bets are off when it comes to animals in Australia. Apparently this Golden Orb Weaver spider weaves an extremely strong web high in protein. Strong enough to catch a bird. I wonder if there's an opportunity to create a unique product here...Golden Orb Weaver Protein Bars...

Anyway, links in this article lead to more unique animal anecdotes - mouse bites snake to death, heron eats rabbit, leopard savages crocodile! Amazing!!
