Marcel Huijser Photography   Home

This is where I show the most recent images and talk about how they were made. The images typically relate to landscapes and wildlife, but I also blog about photos of highways and mitigation measures for wildlife or road ecology in general. Please contact me if you would like to use any of the images.

Flightless dung beetles, Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Flightless dung beetles fighting over dung ball on dirt road (Circellium bacchus), Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

One of the beetles is rolling the ball, going backwards, face down. The second beetle appears to wrestle the first beetle for the dung ball. The first beetle then climbs on top of the dung ball apparently to reorient itself based on the sun, to set the right course to a hole.
