00:00If you place a cricket on an island without any predators to eat it, something strange happens.
00:11Island gigantism.
00:14Basically, when an animal becomes isolated on an island, it can evolve into a giant version of itself.
00:26For example, this is an ordinary sized rat.
00:33And this is a giant rat from an island in the Philippines.
00:41I wonder how big an island cricket can get.
00:45Well, after millions of years, they've evolved to be quite enormous.
00:51The world's largest cricket is from New Zealand, and it's called a giant weta.
