Tree lobsters were thought to be hunted to extinction by rats in the 1920s.

树龙虾被认为在 1920 年代被老鼠捕杀而灭绝。

Now, there’s a colony of tree lobsters at the Melbourne Zoo, thanks to captive breeding.

现在，由于圈养繁殖， 墨尔本动物园有一群树龙虾。

So, back in February, scientists from the Australian Museum Research Institute traveled to the islands to survey the fauna there, and teamed up with some rock climbers to search for another female tree lobster.

因此，早在 2 月，澳大利亚博物馆研究所的科学家就前往这些岛屿调查那里的动物群， 并与一些攀岩者合作寻找另一只雌性树龙虾。
