The giant spider, which is identified as an insect, which it isn't, nor 
is it a spider, is a product of forced perspective.  I expect most of 
them are real in that they are not manipulated in Photoshop.

And I really doubt.those guys in the panda suits fooled that baby panda for a

they do! There was a documentary on TV here a few months ago about some
pandas that were coming to a zoo here, Edinburgh I think, and they wear
those panda suits so that the baby pandas don't become used to being around
humans, so that way they (the humans) can release them (the pandas) into the
wild.

Are they all for real?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/microsoftoutlook/20-amazing-photos-you-dont-want-to-miss-76ab

Dan Matyola
http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola


20 Amazing Photos You Don't Want To Miss only has 19 photos.

Number 18. This Unbelievable Shot Of The 2012 Supermoon In Rio de 
Janeiro is an obvious composite.


Number 17. An Up Close Picture Of One Of The World's Largest Insects, 
The Giant Camel Spider uses wide angle lens distortion to make them 
look a lot larger than they really are.


Camel Spiders aren't that big, and technically are not spiders. Like 
bees  wasps, if you leave them alone they'll mostly leave you alone.


Other than those, I think they're all for real. Even #17 is for real, 
if you allow for it using camera trickery to exaggerate the size.
