ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
Finally, we're able to photograph a Dung Beetle! This one hasn't yet begun collecting dung so there's no dung ball under its rear legs. As we explained earlier, Dung Beetles collect Elephant poop (dung) to use as food and/or as an incubation site for their young. Dung Beetles are flightless; thus the warning signs in Addo to be aware and avoid hitting them.
