Are you suggesting that the photo was "stage managed"?

If this quote from Wikipedia is to be believed then the spider may have needed some help:

"Despite its name, the goliath birdeater does not normally eat birds. Rather, it eats mostly invertebrates such as crickets, mealworms and moths, as well as small vertebrates such as frogs, mice and lizards. If it does eat a bird, it will not spin a web in order to catch one, but instead climb a tree and find a bird's nest, then climb inside and flip upside down. The spider's brown color is almost identical to that of the nest, and when the bird returns, it lands directly in the spider's grasp, whose venom is strong enough to immobilize it."

That's not hard, that's sneaky.

Because despite repeated requests you will still not post my picture of the Goliath in all its finery.
But its still not to late.

How could any thing touch the bull elephant. Not only enormously strong but right grouchy bastards first thing in the morning with a temper to boot.

FIX!!

I demand a recount.

I was obviously right all along that you and GNLF had decided on the winner even before the competition started.

How on EARTH did the grizzly win this group?!

As for you FAZZ...watch the CASSOWARY walk away with the title. I've made a programme whereby all votes(even those on completely different polls) get logged as votes for the cassowary. Mark. My. Words.
