Beetle-bop!

So, I'm walking along the trail at Pedernales Falls and I see this bug pushing along a big ol' round rock. What? So, I take a closer look:

Not a rock. Dung. It's a dung beetle! Gross. Yet, kinda cool. Did you know they apparently push the dung along with their haunches? Weird.

I have to say, I never thought I'd post a picture of dung here. Nope. 'Never thought it.
