This video from the USA is called Giant Prickly Stick Insect, Extatosoma tiaratum, San Bernardino Natural History Museum.
Amersfoort zoo in the Netherlands reports that today a young giant prickly stick insect hatched from an egg.
There are more eggs, and there is a lamp to provide the right temperature, so more babies may hatch.
These animals are originally from Australia, and eat mainly eucalyptus leaves.
