"Rollin', rollin' rollin', now you know you'll be loving this shit right here.." Subtle humor..

Australia loves dung beetles, an Aussie farmer imported some after WWII, having seen tham at work in the Deserts of North Africa. They have seriously lowered the number of flies in OZ. Here, we don't do antibiotics in animal feed, and don't have feeding lots, so our beetles, like our bees, are healthy.

Love Dung Beetles! They need to be protected!

I wonder how they would thrive on US soil. They seem like an ' _invasive_ ' species that would technically not being invasive.

I've never seen a dung beetle in my house, so as far I'm concerned they are ok with me.

Glad to see Limp Biscuit is doing a cameo in the beginning of the vid with the beetle pushing him

[therealrunesead]

They must have had a lot of fun with this list. I literally laughed out loud at the end of "Rollin'" when they sang "Now I know you all be loving this shit right here".

[MarkJacksonGaming]

Well I'm not hungry anymore. I thought the Rhinoceros beetle was the strongest, but you learn something new everyday. Props to the little bastards, but ... come on man, they still eat shit.
