This is freaking awesome. I didn't know dung beetles were so darn cool.

Although I'm worried for the little guys. They mentioned in the article that the dung beetles may not be able to navigate because of light pollution. I had no idea that light pollution had that much of an impact on the environment. I always disliked light pollution for the fact that I couldn't see the stars, but those poor dung beetles. Never knew what hit em.

    "You can do anything you want to them, and they just keep on rolling.”

Best quote ever.
