Hello,
For our reading group we had to learn about Dung Beetles! We learnt that Dung Beetles are 2-3 cm long, so tiny. The thing about Dung Beetles is that they are fast even though they are small. They are also smelly and strong! Dung Beetles are smelly because they move dung (which is poop) with their hind/back legs! That’s how they are strong because they have to roll the dung with their back legs.
We also learnt that you can find a lot of Dung Beetles in the African Plains because there are a lot of animals there that make dung so the beetles can have it and push it around!
When Dung Beetles want dung they have to go and find it but they want moist dung (wet). They never take dried up dung because they can’t shape it into a ball!
Here is an image of a Dung Beetle. I hope you like it bye!
