A Lord Howe’s Stick Insect Hatching


This is never before seen footage. And there's a story behind the Lord Howe's Stick Insect. Also known as a 'tree lobster' (yep, that's how big they get), its entire population was concentrated around a single bush, after an English trading ship introduced rats to their habitat. And there they stayed for 80 years, until a group of Australian scientists stumbled upon them. What a lovely story no?
