: "Two Dung beetles fighting over a ball of dung. Dung balls are critical for these critters survival as it’s a source of food for their younger beetles. Rather than creating their own dung balls, some beetles will go in search of someone else’s and try to steal it from them. Often resulting in epic dung beetle battles."
