Tiny Dung Beetle Ping-Pongs Up Termite Mound
Season 40
Episode 3
About the Episode
The mound the termites abandoned might not look much of a threat, but to a dung beetle, it’s a mountain whose slopes are covered with pitfall traps. A dung beetle is a walnut-sized package of determination, but he is also upside down pushing backwards so he can’t see where he is going.
