A Scary Island That Has Been Keeping a Secret for 80 Years

- Our story begins in the Tasman Sea, the body of water between Australia and New Zealand. It’s exactly here where the Lord Howe Island Group had been lying unperturbed until 1788. That year changed everything in the history of this lost place as British lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball discovered the central island of this group as he was on his way to nearby Norfolk Island. Having fulfilled his mission, Ball was heading home when he decided to claim a newly-uncovered territory for his country. At that time, nobody could’ve imagined the surprises this island would have in store for people decades later!
After Ball’s discovery, permanent settlements had already been established on the main island by 1834. Despite being just 6.2 miles long, Lord Howe Island represented (and still represents) an idyllic picture of a tropical paradise. As for the rest of the islands belonging to this group, they were mostly rocky volcanic landmasses.

"Excuse me, I don't mean to *bug* you."
- says an insect 😂
... not funny
I thought it was funny 😂🤣
@SteveHill wHy?
The bug had some smooth lines 🔥🔥😅😅
Haha
This channel has always something interesting. I would love to visit the Island and find out what else is in this island around.
Thank you for doing this!! Positive News is what we all need!
Amazing, a bug that survived against all the odds. Compared to some others, ie, tigers, and others, due to human interference. Out of sight out of harm, comes to mind.
So glad they were not extinct.Makes a nice change.
through incestry they will live on
i thought that we were talking about an island. turn out we’re talking about insects ! GREAT 😑
Welp the insects is in the island sooo...
Hmm...
Yeah me too
I already know this story and honestly, I'm a fan of this story. Convince me to not. /(;^;)\
SPOLIER ALERT
This is amazing! I guess you DO learn something new everyday! ☺
Yes as always ☺😎👑

My goodness! I love this background music.
P.S. St. Francis of Assisi, please pray for these endangered animals.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
My friend, please read the entire Bible and but before reading please pray first especially to Lord JESUS CHRIST... Then you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free... 🙂
I always wanted to visit Skull 💀 Island. Find King Kong 👍
GodofWarChuka you already found one me!
GodofWarChuka because my name is Kong I’m Chinese
GodofWarChuka and everyone started calling me King Kong😅
It is a place in Vietnam. But if you’re talking about movies, I don’t know why you want to meet him 😅
GodofWarChuka No
Thank you for sharing so many positive wildlife news👍👍
At one time Lord Howe also had the rarest bird on Earth, the Lord Howe Island Woodhen, with only 20 individuals left due to feral cats and pigs. The pigs and cats were removed and a breeding program was started. Happy to say the Island now has hundreds of Woodhens (natural population is limited because they are territorial).
Buddy, there's thousands of tiny islands that are unique, we just Leave Them Alone!!!
Right
From the North San Francisco bay inland, I recall an insect that was in great numbers in the 70's . They were all-black, looked like a hornet or wasp in body shape, but had 2 windows on each side at the beginning of the abdominal region, I called them ,"Window-backed bugs" but I think they were either related to some wasp or similar species, although it didn't sting. I found one being attacked on the way home once by a yellow jacket. I saved it, and a long story short of mending it's wings with a like- type brother of his I found in the entry way of my house, which transpired, I helped it fly off again once I gave it it's friend's transplanted new wings, fixing them to it's wing stubs with some strong adhesive. It flew-off! I was a kid when I did that. But after a handful of years, I never ever saw them again. I blame it on the tree spraying company that advertised to people with oak trees on their property to rid themselves of "Bugs"..I found many dead birds around that time, too. Does anyone know what insect I'm speaking of? I guess I should look it up, come to think of it. But do tell.
some of these videos are bs but this one is actually right on the money. These sharks were born around 1600's or earlier and are still alive today.
Going from the huge mystery to a list of endangers species. Good job at staying on topic.
I was all sad when you said the stick bug was wiped out, but I was so happy when you said they were saved! No, I wouldn't want to hold one (not keen on touching bugs), but I don't want anything bad to happen to them unless they're a danger to humans or other animals.
Cool

Thank you so much for giving me an awesome news
Thank you for making and uploading this video,Team Bright Side,:).
I thought this was about an island 😂 but it's about insects 😲
Anthony Forson Islands have insects, duh
And it says secrets. So i bet the insects are posionous.. What did u think?
Anthony Forson ._. YOU SPOILED IT!!
I think the insect is the insect is the secret XD
What?
I find it difficult to be scared of a tall jagged island sticking up out of the ocean.
IM SUPER HAPPY THAT HUMPBACKS ARENT ENDANGERED ANYMORE!!!!!

The other guy quietly: me to
@@Ithat1guyl no,,,, i’m not a boy but i’m happy that you felt happy too💀💀
sry I wasn't meaning that
yeah, panda's as well
You know the thumbnail looks a lot like the mountain voldemort hid his hocrux in
He did not hide it in a mountain
Interesting info...!! Great news that pandas are save now ♥️✌️
Here in Germany, there is a cave underneath a little mountain in Bad Segeberg. This cave is the biggest winter-home for bats in North Europe and hosts about 30.000 bats each year. In this cave lives a tiny bug, about 5 mm long, and there are only about 10.000. Of them they are called Choleva lederiana holsatica and are the rarest bugs. Breeding in a lab didn't work so far.

And so the quest for the legendary island Raftel to unravel the legendary treasure, One Piece begins.
Sorry i dont mean to bug🐞 you but its spelled like “peace” not “piece”.
@@MissMadamie I think they meant about the anime one piece
I never forgot the time in Nevada when I accidentally ran into a Black Bee hive..was out hiking with a friend...I just bumped them my head was down...I ran like the wind and the entire hived (it seemed) chased me...lucky for me I kept on purpose running into branches and bushes and I lost them etc...near Mt Charleston
👍🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣
You make learning fun for me when I watch your videos
That could indicate that there used to be trees with sticks like that on the islands for them to evolve camouflage as such large sticks.
I'm glad they are not extinct. However, you said "that's how they saved themselves" without ever actually describing how they saved themselves. Did they burrow in the ground until the rats starved to death? Are they poisonous to the rats and killed the rats off before the rats ate all the bugs? We are missing the "how they saved themselves" part I feel.
The quokka on rottnest island almost became extinct as it used to be connected to western Australia. Due to it being cut off. The species now thrive on rottnest island.

That was a rather Bright story. Be safe, be well !
I am sorry to break it to you but I have seen these insects in Cuenca-Ecuador. They call it "ututo" and It's worth mentioning that the city is nowhere near the cost and it's located rather in the highlands. This is nothing new there and I believe they proliferate during the rainy season when they can be seen in large numbers. Anyhow, this is one place I have personally witnessed the insect without even having to look for it and who knows where else you might be able to find it.
That narrator possesses audio charisma... he is extremely engaging, has perfect dry humor, and therefore is a pleasure to listen to. A quite rare combination. Ever listened to John Michael Godier's vids? Same observations apply imo. -- TYVM.
Wow! This is awesome! So pleased that these bugs are alive...even though they are revolting
J*i
Revolting is not even close to what I feel... 😐
@@Feashis Hahahaha..I feel you!
I think they should just be called “Love Bugs” because they couple up & are seemingly able to love 💕
i agree :)
Wow I didnt know they have only been doing YT for 1 year. Wow I didn’t think it was possible to get 17,000,000 subscribers that quickly, I guess some people other than me really like this channel :)
What could possibly go wrong when these quarantined insects escape captivity?
Glad these bugs aren’t wiped out, yes I am happy after hearing this news.
What about if you crus looking bigfood have try going water &then water grow not out but out from in to water???
Over size🏖️

There is an effort on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic to save the last endemic animal on the island which is a small Plover bird named locally as the wire bird
Wow. Thank you some really amazing things.
4:40 where the mystery starts
Noice
I want to rock climb when I'am older and love to see one of the tree lobsters and explore the island and get to the top.
Watching 04.15.22. Thank you SDS.
I'm glad the stick bug survived, but I ain't interested in holding it, thanks. 😳
Thank you, this was fun!
But I have to pose a few questions to scientists. Why did they need to repopulate the bugs? Aren't there plenty already?
Also, I wonder if scientists are the worlds best guessers. Unless, sharks have birth certificates...
400 years old? Although that seems impossible, I hope they don't start dissecting them for the fountain of youth. . .
Amen bro from scotland

Lucky Bug survived .. Whew ! - would be cool to have some in an aquarium to observe ...

I like how they finished the story of the insects which wasn't even "Scary" as suggested by the title, then talked about random things to get the video to 10 minutes.
I knew I recognized this island... I knew about these bugs, because I like to learn about extinction and rediscoveries.
When I was a kid (1970s - 1980s) they said they're were only about 3,000 polar bears left in the world. today there are more than 35,000.
John Gililland wow
Woowoo, I wasn't ready for such scary stuff!
I agree, about bee's , my stepfather that used a walker to get around from the house to the van & this bumble bee followed around for days even trying to follow him n the house , & one time he was on the outside of the van working in the back door & asked me to help m with it ,so I did & noticed inside the van the bee was watching thru the window us ,but as soon as I noticed him (bee) he hid himself from view of me then looked again &again he hid again ,, when he followed my stepfather around he stay about 2 feet above him slowly going everywhere he went ? Strange

I keep hearing Ketchup Palms
XD
Where I grew up we had many pheasants and walking sticks, crawdads and triangular leaches. In the later 1950s they vanished for no apparent reason. The land has since then been 'developed'. The land stinks now and the fertile black soil is gone.
The thumbnail looks like something built in Minecraft

That is great news about the stick insects, and yes I would hold one , because I find them to be interesting.

Insects, that mate for LIFE! I'm totally gobsmacked. Is there any other insect that does that? Seems like a pretty complex behavior for a frigg'n bug.
