Now, thanks to a team of Swedish researchers the mystery has been at least partially solved and the answer, is causing quite a stir amongst the scientific community.

chicagobears12년 이상If I was that animal I would not want to roll in droppings. I wonder how many types of those beetles there are in the world. It would be weird if you had one as a pet. I can't believe that their front legs are that strong. It would be smelly to live in a house made out of droppings.- Elaya12년 이상They clean our planet. It was really cool and interesting.
