I originally thought this Impala (a medium sized antelope from the Zulu word for "gazelle") was stuffed, until I did some research. It looked odd how there was web on his eye and I doubted a spider could manage to build such an intricate web on an animal like this. I was wrong.

"Frank Solomon took the photo of the Impala in Kruger National Park, South Africa, which is home to around 110,000 of the small antelope.

'This is the first time I have ever seen something like this, and I have spent most of my life in the bush.

'For me this was better than seeing a herd of elephant or a leopard in a tree because it was a truly one-off moment.

'When the friend I was with pointed it out all I could see was the Impala. I thought my friend was joking but upon closer inspection I noticed the web.

'I feel it is definitely one for the record books and a sight I will never forget.'"

[–]Phage0070 11 points12 points ago

Ok, so impala ewes have no horns obviously, because they are for sexual display and competition. This one hasn't used his horns in so long that a web has been constructed over them along with his face.

This is obviously a "forever alone" impala.

I guess the impala simply ran into the spiderweb.

[–]forandre 8 points9 points ago

I think you are right - Otherwise, there would be no web on the face and the ears of the Impala.

"This Impala antelope has become a home for a contented spider. The insect appears to have settled in the web after it became caught between the antlers of the small antelope as it walked through a national park.

      Plus, as we all know, it's the female lions that do most of the hunting. But they'll take one look at the webalope, shriek, and run the other way. It's a win-win!

      [–]c-mason3 2 points3 points ago

      This reminded me of the Far Side Cartoon... (the one with the spiders, and their web at the bottom of the playground slide.)

      Here's an image of it. When I ran a google image search for the cartoon, I got this link, which pointed to it... Not my post, but I thought I should throw that out there for full disclosure.

        he looks tougher?

        [–]cosmo_nicholson 38 points39 points ago

        but if you look closely, you'll see that a) there are bits of spiderweb also on his face, and b) the web, if it had indeed been constructed from scratch on the antlers, is strangely built. normally they make concentric circles built around strings going inwards like this, but this one is all higgledy piggledy, like this. Also there's no spider on the web, how did it get down?

        These factors make me think that the antelope simply walked through an existing spiderweb.

        [–]Zanxe 5 points6 points ago

        You can kinda see a brown shape in the centre lower bit of the web. Could be the spider. Just saying.

        [–]Erilaz 6 points7 points ago

        While orb web spiders build the type of web you're describing, others do not. There are many different types of spider webs.

        [–]cosmo_nicholson 1 point2 points ago

        wowee, the more you know

        i've just only ever seen that kind of web.

            [–]FindsTheBrightSide 87 points88 points ago

            As someone with a biology degree who worked with an arachnologist, this is utter bullshit. A singular spider wouldn't cause any decrease in the number of flies that pester the animal. For each that it took, another fly would show up, and spiders don't eat that much or that often to make a notable difference in the life of the animal.

            [–]WoollyMittens 31 points32 points ago

            Why says anything about the spider eating the flies? Merely catching them is sufficient.

            [–]FindsTheBrightSide 3 points4 points ago

            Then allow me to rephrase: the spider wouldn't catch enough flies to make an impact in the day to day life of the animal. Flies are too abundant for the spider to make a dent.

            [–]Cheeseball701 15 points16 points ago

            So multiple spiders!?!

            [–]FindsTheBrightSide 43 points44 points ago

            A select few do share webs, but I still doubt it. This spider is most likely the animal version of a freeloader, benefiting from the animal, but not providing a service in return.

            [–]Cheeseball701 10 points11 points ago

            Yeah, I just looked up the "commensalism" mentioned in one of the parent comments.

            [–]FindsTheBrightSide 7 points8 points ago

            Yeah, I'm reading these other comments now. Surprisingly, Trapped_in_Reddit is actually making sense and not spewing gifs or memes for once.

            [–]EvanMacIan 9 points10 points ago

            Actually, TiR tends to be one of the better reddit stars in terms of comment content. It's just that memes and gifs tend to get more karma, and therefore float to the top.

            [–]amaefm 1 point2 points ago

            Isn't it somewhat a parasite at that point? If there is no benefit to the antelope, I can't imagine it quite enjoys a face and ears full of fucking web.

            [–]IDe- 6 points7 points ago

            Parasitism is a type of non mutual relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

            I don't think that the bold part applies here as there is little to no harm to the "host".

            [–]saranowitz 2 points3 points ago

            Covering the eyes of the animal and possibly impacting the attractiveness of the animal to potential mates (assuming fear of spiders is an instinctual mammalian trait) would qualify as harm.

                This is actually completely wrong. Every fly that encounters this animal has an increased chance of being killed outright, which appropriately decreases the average number of flies that are "pestering" the animal. This is exactly how evolution works - on every single level of selection.

                [–]cuntarsetits 6 points7 points ago

                As someone with two biological degrees, I can confirm that you are quite correct. I have no clue how FindsTheBrightSide can think it to be otherwise.

                In his model there must always be a constant number of flies bothering an animal, with each bothersome fly being immediately replaced by one from a reserve pool of flies on standby who sense the death and select one of their number to move in.

                [–]TellThemYutesItsOver 4 points5 points ago

                As someone with three biological degrees, two eggs and a ruler, this is utter bullshit.

                Go out into a forest in the summer. There are always an abundance of flies, gnats, and other flying pests to annoy you and any other animal. I've slain innumerable flying pests while doing research, not even to make a dent in their numbers.

                  I would doubt the web would cause a statistically significant decrease in the overall number of flies that pester the antelope, which is why I said commensalism and not mutualism. There are more than enough flies around to compensate for the abilities of one spider and its web.

                  [–]Trapped_in_Reddit 11 points12 points ago

                  [–]Trapped_in_Reddit 8 points9 points ago

                  There are more than 40,000 spider species. That's an awfully vague set of questions to ask when I don't know more about the spider in question. Not all spiders built webs, but of those that do, many built in different ways in different amounts of time.

                      If you look at how there is broken webbing on its ears and face, it's clear that it just ran through a spider web. It's not symbiosis, it's just the aftermath of an accidental collision.

                                  I have been saying it for ages. Every since that post about the guy who burned down his house to kill a spider reddit has had this competition of who can be the biggest pussy.

                                  Last time I commented on the spider link novelty I got a bunch of 'hey I really am an arracnophobe' responses to which I said it was unlikely all of reddit was to which they expressed that it was plausible. I just gave up Arguing and downvoted all I could. Rage comics eventually got a lot of hate so I am hoping this nope shit will die too.

                                  On a side note I am not even some big tough guy who is immune to spiders. If a big one is crawling on me expect me to jump like a fucking girl, but a picture or on my wall? Come the Fuck on.

                                      Looks like it may have walked through a web. Also symbiosis IIRC would only be true if the antelope needed the spider to survive.

                                      since the web also is also on his face, i'm going to assume he walked through the web that was most likely on a tree or bush.

                                      You know actually has happened. That spider is using the gazelle as its host. It is living with it peacefully now but soon it will lay it's eggs inside its head. Then the baby spiders will start to eat it from the inside. When the gazelle dies the spiders will eat out the eyes and swarm out to finish their meal.

                                      Those are actually horns, not antlers. Horns are permanent structures, whereas antlers are shed annually and regrown, usually for breeding season.

                                      You just know his web is going to get knocked down, but if the spider thinks the short term risk is worth it for the immediate benefit - then he's fucking genius.

                                      If he's there for the long haul, then well mister spider is a fucking dumbass.

                                      This happens every day of summer when I walk out my door in the morning. Spiders are dicks.

                                      Kids, this is what happens when you don't bathe for weeks

                                      Is that an antenope?

                                      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

                                      It has been possessed by an evil spirit of the forest. Now it's in the process of metamorphosis. It will slowly take the form the spirit desired in the beginning.

                                      in the words of Stinger Bell, "Well get on with it then" aka just kill me now.

                                      Is it a fly catcher, or a dream catcher?

                                      [–]HorriblePerson911 0 points1 point ago

                                      Well, I know what I don't want to be charged by now....

                                      can you image (if animals all really talked to each other like in disney movies) how hilarious the dialogue would be when he woke up to this???

                                      No no, just got here. Take your time..

                                      Clever title. To me, who thinks spiders are nifty little machines ... if not a bit wicked, this seems like it'd work out pretty swell. F*ck mosquitoes and other flying bloodsuckers.

                                      Buck got his own personal dream-catcher.
