It is a known fact that some species of the lowly dung beetle that feed off animal droppings, first form their finds into little balls and roll them away to a safe distance. However, what the scientists had never been able to figure out is how the beetle is able to navigate itself and its tasty little morsel in a straight line, away from the pile of droppings where they are likely to encounter competitors. 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.

    It is completely normal thats wheret they get there names . Although I have seen many of these and it is kinda a good thing when we take walks and go outside there is less than 35% of dung laying around. So its a natural good thing. Im suprised they dont have more brains then that.
