The Peacock Spider


It is a species of jumping spider.
The red, blue and black colored males have flap-like extensions of the abdomen with white hairs that can be folded down. They are used for display during mating: the male raises his abdomen, then expands and raises the flaps so that the abdomen forms a white-fringed, circular field of color

               Cable walker on Zugspitze Mountain, Germany
A daredevil stuntman has scaled a 10,000ft mountain – by creeping up a two-inch thick cable car wire.
Freddy Nock took 90 minutes to edge to the top of the Zugspitze mountain in south Bavaria – without any safety equipment.
Nock, who began his highwire career at the age of 11, said of his 3,000ft long trek: ‘I don’t want to do it again, not without a balancing pole. It was exhausting.’

Touching relationship with Giant Shark
Like giant goldfish, these massive whale sharks don't mind being fed hand to mouth by their fishermen friends.
Photographed near Oslob in the Philippines, the groundbreaking images show close relationship previously not thought possible.
Captured by conservationist Shawn Heinrichs, the once-in-a-lifetime behaviour of the half dozen whale sharks up to 25ft long and the 12 or so fishermen draws gasps of disbelief from casual observers.
The food-based friendship centres around the brine shrimp the fishermen are catching and the trust between man and the world's largest fish is evident to see.
