[Afrocanuk]

When I was a young boy living in Trinidad, I use to see these beatles all the time. I didn't know their formal name so I named them myself. I called them "Shit-rollers."

[salemthemerciless]

@Afrocanuk w'sup soldier ! . . . didn't think i would be giving a fellow trini a shout out on a shit roller video (!) I was just thinking that i haven't seen one of these in a long time and youtubed it . ltrs .

[Afrocanuk]

@salemthemerciless Hey, nice hearing from you fellow Trini ! Yeah, I saw more than my share of these beatles up in Belmount.

[xWingTsubasa]

[yutubecop]

[oostermanju]

the camera shot at 1:05 is incredible

absolutely amazing work

[imnotabear]

hmmm... i just solved the mystery of what are those bugs banging on my window and following me around everywhere

[Grespano]

@imnotabear Hehe. stop shitting while you're walking. =D

[zcrosby]

we should end society and live in harmony with nature. all it would take is trust in each other, which sadly, we don't have despite being a family.

[MaverickXIII]

"I'm having shit tonight!"

[SamAndTrent2]

@MaverickXIII wtf LOL XD

[SHATTERED5487]

as far as I'm concerned througout human history people have always been starving for intelligence ,having killed so many defensless animals far and wide and I ask myself what on earth for????

most of them are lack of necessary useful ideas for improving life on enviroment!

mining corporations are getting used to dealing deadly companies and the scale is increasing a lot.

if don't get it! then stop to think of the earth you are on!

[kijoon7]

HAHAHAH! bread and butter for the beetles.

[Shoot1ngStar]

yum.... poops

[zee339]

just like people, except we call the dung we pile up material wealth.

[helloguyshowareyou]

Me in my next life?

[Exarsh]

fucking gross when theyre on the poo

[claudiareginacvt]

Hummm! I am thinking, This is amazing the natural balance enviroment! animals and insects leaving toghether and keep earth clean! What shold be the place for mankind?

[xfootdoctor]

there is no place for mankind

[sampwaro]

Totally agree. Mother nature is better without mankind... She may rebel herself oneday...

[PetaldropSnow]

Mother nature may or may not created us for a living though, think about it.

[zee339]

if "she" is better off without us, then why make us in the first place?

[sampwaro]

Cuz it didn't put us in the first place... We did!

And now we're at the top of the chain food, look how we treat our own home...The human living in symbiosis with nature no longer exist... Sad thing when u see how fast we're getting out of evrything... gaz, petrol,... And we're even not talking about the OGM....

[zee339]

we don't do anything that mother nature didn't give us the power to do. and if you think we are the only destructive species, take a look at elephant eating habits. god, mother nature, whatever.. if we're bad then they made us like this. f 'em

[sampwaro]

I didn't say that we were the only destructive specie or the only one that make that much war !!

That sounds very naive to think that!!

There are many destructive species, many other that goes on a lot of wars...

But look at the facts, the resources left,the number of disapearing species,... I don't even talk about global warming!!

Everything came with the industrialisation and its grown... look at where we were 100 wears ago!! still riding on horses... You see whatI mean??

[sampwaro]

Nowadays, only money prime on anything else.

The the fight for money...and power, the only "thing" that killed as many species as we've done the last 100 years was the end of the dinosaurs... I mean in total, not in a same time scale but numerously its the same...

And all of this for what?? Fancy superficial things, we're sucking the earth till the bone and now if the 7 billion people living on this earth doesn't take THAT in count

[sampwaro]

The human race will end in a wall.we're in a surproduction phase in some countries (where people throw away things if it begins not to work, throw food just because they cant do any benefits with it, ... Its just waste.. we became a specie that produce more waste than the earth can take.) and and in an incomparable unproduction phase in other countries where people, children cannot be feeded because of the lack of food!! this is fucking intolerant when u see that most of the countries that

[sampwaro]

The matter of the fact is that today there is a mundial crisis, pandemia in much or less the whole world,ressources falling down,still famine problems that brings to many diseases cuz the human body doesn't react good to illness when its starving, .... The list is still keeping longer and longer.

The problem is that the only factor that leaded us to this is us and our F***ing behaviours...

Nature may be cruel but never like human race have been during this last 100 years

[zee339]

but still, nature made us and must want all this to happen. besides, what does mother nature need with raw resources?

[sampwaro]

Ur happy with the way things are going..... millions of people starving while som other millions eating more than they can... The proper question is what do we need from these raw material.... Everybody knows that we can live as well as now without using/wasting all this billions of tons of "Raw ressources" per day!! Just som big f***ing lobbies that block every good idea for a better future cuz they see in there some money that won't be their .... Make enquiries about all of this and ull see...

[sampwaro]

hav problems are in a ressource terms(diamants, rubis,....) the most powerfull dont see a single penny from all this wealth. We hav problems between us and with the earth...

We've consummed more than 10 times the earth ressources in a 100 years than in the rest ofthe human beggining a bit more than a 100000 years ago! This is a fact too!!

I don't think nature created us like this but we managed to transform ourselves in that kind of monsters that we are today...

[zee339]

you're getting all worked up for no reason. the entire natural world is run on the waste of each lifeform feeding other lifeforms.

[sampwaro]

Nop, i dont get things all worked up in my head for no reason... This is happening nd in no longer we won't be able to stop what's coming... Donnow wher u live but u seems to be quite cutted from the world's problems...

These are facts... Nature is better off the actual human behaviour...nd nature is full from animal feeding on others... sure, but eating only what they NEED...we consum a lot more than we need... another fact... See what i mean?

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

Jacking off to japanese cat porn dude, the true meaning of life.

[IceTeaEdwin]

HAHA!!!

The music goes perfectly with the video :3

[Magikano]

wow thats some amazing footage

[japanz1984]

i'm glad that i ate,before watching this.

[claudiareginacvt]

kkkkkkkkk!

[LarsLeenders]

omg that fling shot was beautiful

[HopperGod]

This is shit XD

[magicteeto]

How efficient!

[AJ78910]

amazing filming techniques.

[dothesprinkler]

very nice closeup on the shit. excuse me while i throw away the rest of my lunch.

[CLiDED]

Who cares? You probably eat dead animals.

[dothesprinkler]

whats wrong with that? animals are tasty!

[CLiDED]

Dead animals are essentially dung for humans.

[dothesprinkler]

yes, after we eat them and shit them out. whats your point?

[CLiDED]

No, not after.

Meat is to humans, as dung is to dung beetles.

It's all subjective. Post a video of you eating a fat steak or some sausage on YouTube, and you'll get people who cry, like you did, about throwing up their lunch.

[dothesprinkler]

go get your tampon changed, thanks

[CLiDED]

Figures, the only insult you can come up with is one we used in Grade 3. Pathetic.

[tim56398]

thas what ur mum said last night lmao

[billybobjohn7]

lol sprinkle you have commented on like every single one of these series of videos

atta boy

[gunchibaiyya]

1:02 they actually shot the reflection of a jumping monkey on the glossy back of a beetle. This is impressive.

[ITheDemonataI]

yea the reflection at 1:02 is amazing.

[Nothingface430]

dude i wish they could translate beetle.

i just wanna hear the conversations.

dude check out my pile of shit.

[teemuruskeepaa]

0:45 it is condemned anthropomorphism to say dung beetles race desperately because only the winner gets a share. It implies two things. That stupid insects actually feel competitive and distinct winners and losers. And that the human society is fundamentally, naturally and inevitably divided into people who regard others as their enemies. Third, it preserves and justifies the capitalist order and the benefits of the elite

[Khamomil]

Excellent point!

[PullYourBowl1]

I think it's funny when people try to make themselves feel and sound smart by posting comments. How the fuck did you get capitalism from dung beetles? Also, your "intelligent" comment is littered with errors, so you just sound fucking stupid.

[teemuruskeepaa]

How cares, you extremist rightist with reactive and closed mindset?

[babes0098]

wet and sticky dung. *yummy*??? HELL NO.hahaha.

[ThugaRhymes]

that was cool, even bugs act like humans

[baddmanaz]

shit happens

[felipeohyeah]

Should get some and put them in my back yard so whenever my dog releases some impurities, I don't have to pick it up and my yard is completely surprise free.

[prim8pk]

haha for sure

[jayjariwala]

but remember to have a door for them to fuck off or else in a short while they will turn that in to their house remember they layied eggs out there haha great idea with the door in it

[jewelz17]

hmmm yeah but remember that people transfering animals and plants around the world to other countries is actualy a bad idea.... i dont think they could live here...(im from canada - it gets cold) ...basically, if they dont natrually live there, they probably shouldnt be imported there...

we just need that spray that makes shit dissapear like in the movie Envy...

[SLE335]

"The bigger your ball, the better your chances." LMAO

[cpk93]

livin in a mans world! lol

[mshk1989]

@SLE335 "if u havent got a ball of ur own u can steal someone elses" LMAO

[danbison]

Ahh wonderfully fresh! Mmm.

[djanigav]

Grotesquely hilarious yes, but presented in such a way that keeps you interested, as only BBC can =)

Love BBC woot!

[8WholeThing]

That's a bunch of...
