We had a lot of interesting stuff that we collected.
What did you collect?
After less than a week in the field to have an idea, it was a very short trip.
We collected a range of beetles, from big rollers to tiny flightless dung beetles to have an idea.
During the trip, I discovered 50 new species.
50 new species, or 15?
No, no, 15, one to five.
In the second trip, I discovered additional two new species to science.
And in the third trip, I'm still working on data.
meaning that in Mount Mabu we can found a huge community of dunk beetles.
Oh, well, congratulations.
You've proved that it's special.
I mean, it looks pretty special, but you've proved it with biodiversity.
And now the Mozambique government's decided to protect it.
I want to bring Phyllis in here.
Which animals do you think or are there animals that produce the best dung for these dung beetles?
Can you say that?
That's an interesting question.
Thank you for asking.
