Sticky

Long thought to be extinct, the Lord Howe Island stick insect was rediscovered under a bush on a desolate craggy island peak far off the coast of Australia. This lushly animated documentary tells the story about a remarkable creature — the Dryococelusaustralis is so large that it was nicknamed the “tree lobster” — thought to have gone the way of the dodo nearly a hundred years ago. Sticky highlights a group of intrepid and passionate scientists who went on a climbing adventure in an almost prehistoric place, resulting in a wonderful conservation success story.
