That brings back memories
I was there last april. We would have to wait for the dung beetles to cross the road before we could drive on

Thanks. Yep Azz they roll it into this round ball. The beetle doing the rolling, you will note, is turned with back legs on the dung. Thats how they all roll it. Guess they don't want to get their hands dirty!
