Six-Legged Giant Finds Secret Hideaway, Hides for 80 Years
This story resonates with me.Here in New Zealand, we have many native species of birds, insects, frogs, lizards and the like that thrived when our islands were cut off from the rest of the planet, but that have become extinct, or are in imminent danger of being so due to introduced predators such as rats, stoats, hedgehogs, ferrets, cats etc. etc.It leads to the bizarre situation that conservation here is largely about killing things.
