Dung beetle! they are anlitle gross when they roll poo aroud but this one is splendid also a splendid shot by you Jens!
Artist Reply: Hi Lucy, theses animals arn't so gross and it isn't realy poo they are rolling around. In Africa these little "helpers" are one of the most important creatures. There are even road signs to watch out for them. They era very iportant for the eco system. This "rolling-around" is just to impress the females. Cute, isn't it?
