The diligent dung beetle provides an important service in Africa

 

The dung beetle is a vastly underrated little creature, a diligent creature who provides a very important service. So important, in fact, that without them national parks across Africa would be piled high with manure.

Iโ€™m not kidding. One researcher recorded that he watched a small, 1.5 kilogram pile of elephant poo on the African savannah attract around 16 000 dung beetles of various shapes and sizes. Whatโ€™s more, the beetles managed to annihilate that mound of dung in just two hours.

 

Given the amount of dung that a single elephant can produce in a day, itโ€™s just as well the beetles are as efficient as they are.
