Otto is a dwarf Lop, an English Spot Breed, and he is huge! He is about a year old. This picture was taken on his first day with us, when he was rescued from the Keysborough animal shelter, where he had been found wandering as a stray.

Phasmids are stick and leaf insects. They are more common in the wild than you might think. Many people tend to overlook them because of their excellent camouflage. Occasionally they will fall from trees during windy weather, making them easier to find. Phasmids spend their days remaining motionless and looking just like sticks or leaves.
