This is an actual sign in Addo. It advises drivers to be
careful to avoid hitting Dung Beetles. Dung Beetles here in
Addo use Elephant poop or "dung" for several reasons. When
the Beetle finds the dung, it will roll it into a ball using its
hind legs. The bung ball is typically offered to a female who
will use the dung ball to lay her eggs. If the dung ball
isn't used for noursing offspring, it will be eaten by
adults. Nothing goes to waste in the bush!
