Hooray! A dung beetle!
It can be exciting, at least for me anyway. Often, you'll hear me talk about the "clean up crew" and the creatures that have been assigned that duty. From crayfish and snapping turtles to maggots and vultures, a lot of creatures can help get the job done, but none quite like these guys.
I was amazed not only with the size of this creature, but also with the extreme roundness of the dung ball! Check out that sphere! Anyway, I had a little fun showing some of the @little-peppers and thought I'd shoot a quick video to show all of you too! Enjoy!

They are pretty cool creatures @papa-pepper! I had no idea we had them here in the US; always associated them with Africa and parts of tropical Central America.
Bright Blessings to you and yours!

Great fun to watch, these. I have also seen one cheat with a fresh rabbit dropping once. Already round, you see.

When moving balls of dung, a roller can pull a whopping 1,141 times its own bodyweight – that’s the same as a human dragging six full double-decker busses along a road..WOWWWW..dis small creatures..

just what do dung beetles do with the dung they collect?

Here in South-Africa, dung beetles are very common. (though I suspect they are all over the place) To observe them is quite interesting as they struggle to push there prize around. It is also fun to see how they use there back legs to push when the ball gets a bit large...

Your work is amazing.
The image of the dung beetle reminded me of a popular movie earlier in the milenium "Mr Bones"
Your love for the wild is fascinating
I envy the @little_peppers
