Two strapping, handsome males spot her--the gorgeous fertile female standing in the swaying grass. She turns away. They both dash to make their impression on this young sexy, naked, girl.
Sh*t! That's it. There it is--the black gold! They know the one with the biggest balls will win her affection and passes on his genes to another generation...
They scurry to see who can roll the bigger ball of dung to impress her. Really, though, what woman isn’t swept away with a giant ball of elephant poop!
**I sometimes wonder what dung beetles would say/think about human courtship.**
I enjoy thinking about comparisons between mating rituals of human, and non-human animals.
I find these pictures funny:

Without dung beetles, the planet would literally be overrun with poop . They do really spread the love, and that sh*t, around! (and fertilize soil, while they do that.) Humans likely couldn't live without nature's poop-lovin creatures. Lest you doubt the critical importance of the dung beetle:
