The dung beetle is one of nature's miracles. They take literal sh#t and use it make fertilizer when burrowing around and putting those nutrients back into the dirt. They help plants grow, which gets fed on herbivores, which get eaten by carnivores, which turn all of that into sh#t again and keep the circle of life spinning.

And the most amazing part of it all is that they use the relative positions of celestial objects like the moon and stars to navigate their way in the dark.
