The quest for the biggest dung beetle - Heliocopris dominus ... 

I'm sure a lot of zoos would be interested if they had large fields and a tropical climate ?

you should breed these I would imagine that horse/cow dung would be taken as a food source both are easy to collect and you could make some very nice beetles.

Dang those are enormous!!

I just found one in my house. As big as it is, it can fly.

deine Videos sind sowas von interessant immer, unglaublich! weiter so!

What a terrific video. I gotta say I was a little sad for them. Loved the comment at the end! XD

Wow！

Andai ku memilikinya.❤

I confess that I really got interested in making some kind of investigation with this species! Here in Mexico i'm used to make behavioral studies with the tiny Canthon cyanellus... haha

is it successful in breeding?

I have tortoise that always make dung. I kept native dung here with good success

Und du bist der Meinung, dass die Nachzucht nur mit Elefantendung funktioniert?Pferdeäpfel zu organisieren wär für mich kein Problem :D

Interesting how over time they can turn sandy soils into very rich soil

Glad to see another video do you have any tips on breeding dung beetles

Können Sie vielleicht mal wieder Videos auf Deutsch machen , wäre echt toll !

You going to breed these?

Hey Daniel... I need your help and i hope you can answer, cause y want to start a Mecynorrhina Torquata Ugandensis breating... But im from México and i dont know if you know about some website wich could send larvs to México. Thank you for answer

It's a shame to see, how the people treat these animals... Both, the elephants and the beetles. Let them swim in water for 24 hours? Wtf.

Could i get live dung beetles from you

?

It sounds like someone is needed to breed them over there, so they dont becomw extinct due to human predation.

I bet those beetle really smell like shit.
