[0-1:59.520]At night, the forests are eerily quiet
[00:04.620]Only a handful of bats made it here,the only mammals to do so,
[00:09.110]and there are far fewer birds
[00:10.730]In the absence of ground predators,
[00:13.730]invertebrates evolved into monsters
[00:16.710]This millipede is one of the biggest of its kind,
[00:20.600]running almost a foot long
[00:22.510]Its diet of rotten vegetation may have sustained its ancestors on their long journeys to these distant shores
[00:29.620]But how did they get here?
[00:31.890]Perhaps more surprising,
[00:33.670]two species of frog also made it to Fiji
[00:36.630]Surprising because adult frogs quickly die in saltwater
[00:41.300]But the ancestor of this frog may have arrived here as a tadpole
[00:44.620]Tadpoles normally need pools of freshwater to develop in,
[00:48.860]but these actually mature inside the egg
[00:52.530]So, on long journeys, these eggs would have been like little survival capsules
[00:57.390]But the question remains - how did they ever reach these islands?
[01:01.670]Maybe the same way as Fiji's most intriguing castaway of all
