Flightless Dung Beetle, Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa

---

These Dung Beetles collect elephant poop and roll it to a ball to easier take home with them. Competitors might try and take it away from them. They are everywhere to be seen in the park and many are squashed by passing cars.
