A new batch of bizarre but true animal stories from down under has hit the news. Click the headline to read the complete stories and see the photos. (Come on - you know you want to see them......)
Snake's Wallaby Meal
The former Cairns councillor was at his rural property at Bilwon last month when he heard a neighbour's dog barking and rushed down to the water's edge to find the snake devouring a full-size wallaby with a joey in its pouch.
He estimated the python was at least 5m (16 ft) long.
"We were more amazed than anything that a python could get its mouth around an animal of that size," he told The Cairns Post last night.
Froggone it, Bye Bye Birdy
This green tree frog is settling the score for every amphibian that's been pecked to death by a hungry bird.
Beak, feathers, claws and all, Babette and Carmelo Di Bella watched with disbelief and horror as their patio-dwelling friend devoured a young chick.
Spider Eats Bird
These amazing images of a mammoth spider devouring a bird were taken in the backyard of an Atherton property, west of Cairns.
And the images, which are being cirulated via email worldwide, are real, according to wildlife experts.
The photos, believed to have been taken earlier this week, show the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web.
Yes folks - this stuff is real and not all that horribly out of the ordinary here. It's all just another day in the great land of OZ.
