For those that are curious, scarabs are by far the strongest of beetles. In fact, they are one of the strongest animals on Earth. And it’s strength is based on how much it can lift in comparison to its body weight. Which in this case, would be more then 1,141. To give you an idea of their horsepower, this is equivalent of an average person pulling six double decker buses full of people. They may be minuscule, but they are also very mighty.
1:12 Dung beetle 007! Mission abort! I repeat, mission abort! You got fast movers approaching your position. 007, do you read? GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!
I saw a show many years ago with a segment about dung beetles. They gave them voices and the beetles all sounded like the Beatles (John, Paul, George and Ringo). It's driving me crazy trying to remember the name of the movie.
1:12 I too was confused by the electric noise, thinking it was just a poorly dubbed out camera sound, but then the helicopter noise followed by music from james bond made me think "someone in sound is having fun in post production" ;)
Sir David Attenborough, you are king.
I'd give my pinky fingers to work on his research team. Wish I could meet the man.

Dung beetles are so cute!

I always had the notion that dung beetles were somehow rare. It's hard to imagine thousands of 2" diameter shit balls rolling across a field.

You gave very beautiful and useful information sir. nice to see. Thank you so much for sharing
1:23 My name is Beetle, Dung Beetle.
Working behind the scenes for bbc earth is literally my dream job ! always so so awesome
Sir David Attenborough, the best.
what if they accidently peck the dung instead of the beetle?
They get to Tesco and buy some mouthwash right quick.
Or they throw up because the dung is really junky to eat.
They would have just a beak full of shit.
Instant regret proceeds
Shit luck
1:12 funny sound effect hahaha...
Dung beetles are so brave even if they risked their lifes
2:17
Don't stop believing

Dung beetles are the best.
MI BOLA DE EXCREMENTO
Love the James Bond music.
One minute you're a solar deity. The next, you're an unfortunate background character in a Jurassic Park film.
1:22 Music composed by the great John Barry!!
Sre there different types of Dung Beetles?
does anyone know why they roll dung across such great distances? can't they just stay in the vicinity of a pile of dung?
because buried the balls to lay eggs within.
James Bond music? Lol
And the Kori Bustards through the lens of a Dung Beetle must be Godzilla........ 💚🐾
Those Kori Bastards wont get away with this treachery! Felt like commenting that. The Kori Zilla must pay!
I'm going..on a adventia!
Transformation of energy from one life form to the next is a wonderfully horrid thing.

Hopefully that's a flight-less bird.
