Two dung beetles wrestle over a round ball of chimp dung on the forest floor in Uganda
To the victor go the spoils!! Serious competition over the fresh chimp gold this morning… little guy on the left spent ages rolling the perfect ball only to have it stolen at the eleventh hour.. 😭🙈🧪

Kewaya and I both wondering why we bothered to get out of bed early when everyone else seems to have decided to have a long lie in this morning.. 🙄
