I had never really thought about using dung as a method of communication ... rhinos have. They mark their territory with up to 20 or 30 piles of it. They are HUGE piles ... and must have a fairly distinct smell - Rusty went nuts over my sneakers when I got home ...
The dung beetles were my favorite African bug. They would roll, fight over and steal balls of dung 5 times their size.
My second favorite bug was this long horned beetle I found in my tent in Swazi ..
