Thank you Sydney for the informative video on this super insect. It is quite amazing to see the size of dung balls, they build and move. Love Safari Live and their knowledgeable guides. 💕💞💕💞

The scene just after the battle between the two male Dung Beetles, with the female Dung Beetle being rolled around on the dung ball reminded me of a song. That song was 'You Spin Me Around ' by the band Dead or Alive.
I'm wondering, how infuriating was it, when using the dung as a building material, when a Dung Beetle or five came along and decided they wanted a ball or two for their own purposes?
Here in Australia we have a distant cousin of the Dung Beetle. It's called a Christmas Beetle....
Thanks Sydney for this fantastic and entertaining vid 💚💩🐾
