Unusual Highlight . . .

Rollin Rollin Rollin... Keep That Dung A Rollin
The nature highlight of the trip was not the carnivores hunting and eating, nor the 10′s of thousands in the migration, but rather this little dung beetle. I had seen them on TV & the movies, but never in person. Nature’s tiny manure spreader rolled this ball more than 15 yards, and then buried it by crawling underneath and digging the hole under it to eventually lay it’s eggs inside it.
