Dung beetles

Truly amazing. Nature's dump trucks. Thanks to Patches for providing us specimens, we captured these waste disposers in the following footage.

Rolling in the dung:

You can see how they are made perfectly to do this wonderful job too!  So cool!  (If you're a dork like me/us, anyway.)

When I told a Namibian that we don't have dung beetles where we're from, he was shocked!  His suggestion was we import and sell them.  I can see our business now: "Go green with nature's pooper scooper!"  I must say, we do find them to be quite helpful to have around!
