Here are true facts about the dung beetle
The dung beetle survives mainly or solely by eating the faces of other animals
thats terrifying...wait thats a typo-
it eats the FECES of other animals...ugh that's even worse
The rolling dung beetle finds dung with its acute sense of smell
The dung beetle then selects a choice piece to roll into a ball- oh that's disgusting- cut it cut the clip
I told you I wont, I'm not going to narrate the footage of poop
It's just not going to happen- this isn't better this has nothing to do with the dung beetle
Fine.
The female dung beetles then judge their potential mates by the size of their balls
Oh come on that's a linx- wait why is he stalking that santa baby? Run away santa baby!
After a mating pair is established, the female often attaches herself to the dung-ball chariot
and the male rolls them away from the dung pile
He does this backwards by pushing on the ball with his hind legs
Imagine getting into a car and putting your head facedown on the seat and steering with your butt
That is how the dung beetle do
Needless to say they get lost from time to time
When it strays off course the dung beetle climbs on top of its ball
and uses the position of the sun, the moon, and even the milky way to reorient itself
Sort of like how ancient sailors once did, except without the giant ball of shi-
Here a scientist uses a mirror to confuse the hell out of a dung beetle
Along the way he must face challengers who seek to claim his turd-ball
the ensuing battle sometimes lasting for hours
When they have finally completed their journey the young freaky couple digs a small hole in the soft sand
The female then lays her eggs inside the dung-ball and then seals them up
Using more dung, her saliva, and her own feces
Just for good measure (laughing)
and then when the baby is born, it eats its way out
Oh haha jeeze the circle of life
Just remember, no matter how bad your job is
even if you shovel crap for a living
atleast you're not doing it naked, and with your mouth, and then eating it.
