How Dung Beetles Evolved to Eat Poop
Ғылым және технология
All dung beetles belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea, but only those in the Scarabaeinae group feed entirely on dung. These are the true dung beetles. Dung beetles have different feeding behaviours, such as rolling, tunnelling and burying, but how did they first evolve to eat poop?

I know this is an episode about poop but I'm so glad your channel was suggested. Evolution is my favorite scientific topic and your channel is a goldmine for questions I've had for years. Your channel provides an excellent example of how evolution is a passive pressure that leads to major changes in a species. So many people misunderstand that creatures don't chose to evolve they simply do because of reasonable pressures

How possible all this evolved from no where? I think some one created everything we see or can't see ~ imo

That pooping montage is peak cinema
Imagine the conversation as a dung beetle pair meet and discuss housing and a family.

❗😳 That's offensive! They prefer to be called "excrement beetles"! 📛 Seriously though, as I was typing out my ^dumb joke, I started hearing the video's producers airing what is apparently just a "stock audio track" of nature sounds, which includes the obvious mating call of eastern American grey tree frogs(immediately after 1:17). Thats odd, considering the video footage ISNT of eastern American nature, it's primarily African! 🤨 I've recently noticed this strange phenomenon of producers from major media outlets using "stock audio footage of grey tree frog mating calls" in LOTS of videos about a myriad of nature topics that don't remotely involve eastern US nature! I recently heard it in a video about the Amazon.
Amazing video! Love the narration.

These videos are honestly just amazing, the amount of work and stunning visuals are just like professional documentaries. Keep up the amazing work, you deserve the subs
Man what a strange gem to stumble across, great video, easy sub. Hope you keep growing!
I made the mistake of eating while watching this. The scene where a bunch of different animals taking a poop did it for me.
Thank you for posting this! Very interesting of a subject I never thought of.
keep it up, just discovered you and really love the content
Crazy underrated channel!! Thank you

great video!!
Great video
informative video,as my research is on dung beetles,need video on guild distribution.
We have dung beetles so bad this year in our small Texas horse pasture. Ours don’t seem to make balls at least not that I’ve seen but they’re so bad & so many in the poop piles you can hear them eating & the pile looks like it’s moving.
I saw the thumbnail and i almost attacked my tablet to get an item. Good video btw.

Great video 🌈💫
Even a crappy life can be a happy life
The frank discussion of "mouth parts shaped for squeezing out and consuming these liquids", and "eating detritus paste" sounds so foul. I don't know why but the British accent makes it even worse. 🤣
Nice

The weirdest thing to think about is that we are motivated to eat what is good for us by our brains making it taste good to us. Poop tastes bad to us because it would make us sick. Candy tastes good because it is calorie dense which helps us survive. So to these beetles, slurping down the liquid from shitballs must be absolutely delicious.
Wow!! What a video!!!!
i wanted to evolve and learn to eat only poop. 😅
Honestly, bits disappointed. Compared with other footages (of the same author), the content seems lost a focus. Which is the main subject, the origins of new type of feeding or rolling it away for a larva

It’s dug in real life lol
You showed some irrelevant clips with desert Tenebrionidae, very different and unrelated beetles...

Hi there, what an amazing video that you posted! Anyway, I'm Azel from Indonesia. I'm a scriptwriter for one of Indonesia's TV channels, Trans7 for Islampedia program. We're currently highlighting about dung beetle. Thus, do you mind if we use your video in our program? We will put the courtesy of your KZread channel, of course. Thank you :)
