I remember reading the article in 2012. I wonder what the update was? I only skimmed, is it mentioned anywhere?

It looks like they just pushed some of the photos further forward in the text and corrected a small omission ("give it a man who was very familiar" to "give it to a man...").

Here's the most recent Wayback Machine snapshot, for comparison: https://web.archive.org/web/20160106214937/http://www.npr.or...

There was a BBC article (about rebooting a species, inbreeding and recessive genes) mentioning Bells Pyramid last week. Perhaps that spurred the update?

Does not look like there's anything much new...

I need something like a web diff

You can use the wayback machine to get old versions and diff the two raw html files (little bit dirty, but it works). Only found changes in the wording of the "description" and "og:description" meta tags.

<meta name="description" content="The insect is so large — as big as a human hand — it's been dubbed a &quot;tree lobster.&quot; [-It was thought to be-]{+Presumed+} extinct,[-but-] some enterprising ento mologists [-scoured-]{+found them on+} a barren hunk of rock in the middle of the [-ocean and found surviving Lord Howe Island stick insects."-]{+ocean."+} />

Edit: Is there a way to get the raw html from archive.org without the rewritten links? It pollutes the diff badly.

I meant something automated like google translate in chrome ;)

but yeah I see your point, still you have the issue of no older archives existing

I think I remember reading it first time around. I came here to post that this needs a (2012) also.
