Feces are golds in desert! Dung beetles are popular in Souvenirs entomologiques.
In ancient Egypt, they were worshiped as scarab gods. Here we were at Sam sand dunes, Rajasthan, India. As camel left feces on the ground, numbers of dung beetles flew in from nowhere and gathered around the dung. They cut and rolled it along in a ball.

This is a remake of the episode aired on Amazing Animals in Japan in November 2000.
