The Dung Beetle

The safari I went on at the end of September was pretty cool. We saw a ton of wildlife like Giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, and even lions! But the coolest thing I thought that we saw was the dung beetle.
We are riding in the safari van and all of a sudden our guide (Dennis) tells the driver to stop. We are all looking around not seeing anything except grass and some trees. Well Dennis tears out of the van and runs over and points out this little bug pushing this ball up the road. Turns out its a dung beetle pushing a piece of dung up the road. Fascinating! Anyway I got some of the interesting facts about Dung Beetles that Dennis told us on video. Enjoy!
