Описание: At Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park in South Africa, a dung beetle is hard at work beneath the sunlit canopy, rolling a perfectly shaped ball of dung across the dusty terrain. With determined pushes from its hind legs, the beetle maneuvers the ball over twigs, pebbles, and uneven ground, often many times its own size. This labour isn’t random — the dung serves as both food and a nursery. The beetle will bury the ball in soft soil, where it becomes a nutrient-rich chamber for its eggs. Once hatched, the larvae feed on the dung, completing a cycle that’s both practical and ecologically vital. Dung beetles help recycle waste, aerate soil, and reduce parasites, making them unsung heroes of the savanna. It’s a scene of quiet persistence, where nature’s smallest engineers play a crucial role in the health of the ecosystem.
