What are Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches?
Madagascar hissing cockroaches are a species of cockroach native to the island of Madagascar, just off the coast of Africa. Like many of the unusual animals found on Madagascar, these cockroaches are quite distinct from their counterparts in other regions of the world, and they are a topic of interest among some biologists and entomologists. In addition to being subjects of study, Madagascar hissing cockroaches are also kept as pets in some regions of the world, because they are relatively calm, hardy, and easy to handle.
