This is an awesome beetle; he rolls a ball of manure that is about five times as big as he is at amazing speeds. While standing on his "hands"...
Sometimes he gets a bit carried away. Literally.
The ball kept going out of control; several times it ran over him.
I've heard that they eat those in some parts of Africa...
ReplyDeleteI just found out how to go to your gallery and look at all the different files!!! of course I love the one of the kids best... lots of pics I've not seen!!! oh, I'm in love... wonderful pics all around. I like them all..
ReplyDeletewhat does the dung beetle do with his dung ball? is it to eat or lay eggs in?
ReplyDeleteIt kind of reminds me of an incident involving Schlabach cousins and a giant snowman building endevour this last New Years.
ReplyDeleteThere was also alot of rolling after people with giant snowballs in attempts to roll them up in them. I believe Boni usually got the worst part of the deal, thanks--primarily--to Asher and Zion.
