There was a case in Australia where the local dung beetles were overwhelmed by the amount of dung from the cattle on large ranches. People had to import several species of dung beetles from other parts of the world to help the locals out before the amount of dung and the fly populations got out of hand. I am very strong. I can push a ball of dung several times my size and weight. The females of my kind are good mothers.
Eggs are safe when buried in the dung and they hatch into their own personal food supply.
There is no danger of my kind becoming extinct. Wherever there is animal life, I will thrive with the plentiful food supply they provide. Check out Christina's Critters from week 3 for more information on the Dung Beetle. Well, there seem to be a lot of poopivore experts out there. Nearly everyone recognized our Dung Beetle friend from Christina s Critters a while back.
