Dung beetles have the right of way

On Saturday Alice and I rented a car and traveled to Addo Elephant Park. As we drove ourselves through the park, we were constantly reminded that dung beetles, which could be no more than 2 inches long, have the right of way on the road. When they feel threatened, they stick out a big spike from their shell which can pop your car tire. We encountered them twice and gave them ample crossing time! See the photos from the day below (click to enlarge!)

He walked all the way to our car and crossed right behind it!
