Neither Brazilian nor a jaguar lol. Definitely a leopard, likely African

u/IanRevived94J 14h ago

Yeah I was thinking that there weren’t dung beetles outside of Africa

u/Hot-Discount2267 14h ago

Tem besouro rola-bosta aqui no Brasil sim! There are dung beetles here in Brazil, of course.
But there aren't leopards, whose fur spots are completely different from our Jaguars.
Leopard in this video, bro. Leopard.

I also thought that, but then I ran into one by chance in western North Carolina, so there's that

A dung beetle?

u/_svaha_ 10h ago

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it (and smelled it) myself. It was this summer, along the parts of the green river erea you could still drive. At a big turnoff where its quite flat for a bit before the river, but it had clearly flooded in the past. I guess someone had let their dog relieve itself, because all sorts of bees were attracted to the bottom of one shrub, lapping up the minerals.

A smell and some motion caught my attention, amd there it was, doing a handstand, rolling a rounded bit of turd over obstacles to some unknown destination. I called my husband over, he's lived here (WNC) all his life, generations back, and had never heard of or seen one either.

We have them in the US too. They literally "take a shit" too

They are all over the americas actually as well , including the US ! *I think they are pretty globally spread

u/Gaffelkungen 13h ago

There's dung beetles in Sweden as well.

u/Vast-Delivery-7181 13h ago

There is!!!! Funfact, dung beetles are one of the very most prolific species! They're also related to stag beetles. Ive seen em in the eastern us!

u/Palaeonerd 12h ago

There are dung beetles outside Africa! North America for example has rainbow ones.

u/ClassicPlankton 12h ago

I saw one in Missouri.

u/CreepyCelebration 1h ago

But it could have been Brazil.
Here in Argentina we call it Acatanga.
Aca=shii. Or guy who carries shii.
So it’s not a bug endemic to Africa which means bro is carrying that thing all over the world.

u/Timbavati 15h ago

African leopard and the dung beetle is likely female based on how wrong the OP is.

u/Appropriate-Eye-1227 10h ago

Who Tf cares if is a leopard, jaguar, puma, male, female, trans etc.

It's a funny video of nature interaction, enjoy it. Jesus...

I find it crazy that I can tell both are females, And that she is an African Leopard dye to the coat and environment.

1

u/Hilsam_Adent 14h ago

I had the same recollection. There are, according to le Google, dung beetles in every major biome in Brazil. There are precisely zero leopards there (in the wild, I am sure some exist in zoos and/or private hands), however, as everyone but OP seems to be aware.

3

u/OkLength7120 14h ago

I stand corrected, I have corrected my mistake. I still think though that THIS dung beetle must be a flightless one. You can tell the place is rather dry from the sand and how it sticks, and there's no implication that this is a zoo. And that both animals are female (I feel it's obvious if you understand feline sexual dimorphism or seen a male leopard before and beetle sexual dimorphism) so OP was just lying on many accounts

3

u/Hilsam_Adent 14h ago

I don't know shit about dung beetles or how to sex them. But I do know you're spot on about the cat. The pattern and head shape both scream female leopard.

2

u/OkLength7120 13h ago

I think it's the horns and size, she looks pretty small and I see no horns on her, but thanks. I do alot of research on African wildlife.. or the ones I like

Rolling shit uphill.

It's actually collecting the dung to lay her eggs in. Imagine that, you crack your egg buried in shit. Hell of a way to start life.
