Watch: Huge stick insect discovered in Australia

A new species of giant stick insect has been discovered in Australia. The insect is significantly larger than typical stick insects, weighing as much as a golf ball. Researchers found the insect in the remote mountain forests of northeastern Australia. The species is believed to be the largest known stick insect in the world, measuring up to 55 centimeters (21.6 inches) in length. Scientists say the discovery highlights the importance of protecting Australia's diverse and fragile ecosystems, as many species remain undiscovered. The find is a testament to the continued exploration and study of the natural world, which can yield unexpected and remarkable discoveries.
