I carry on watching beat, I carry on collecting them, even though she didn't know that I was doing so.

So you've risked cholera for your dung beetle obsession.

That's true.

That's true.

I was crazy about natural science, biology and stuff.

If kid Gimo could see adult Gimo now, I think he'd be impressed.

I'll be happy to see myself.

I remember going there to the river, watching dance beat rolling the pools.

Because in Mozambique, where I grew up, we didn't have toilets, right?

So we remember doing our stuff in the bush.

After doing our stuff, we used to see them rolling the pools.

So it was like kind of funny as a kid.

So I'll be laughing.

I will be laughing if I could see that today.

So for you, dung beetles were these amazing little helpers that they just kind of take the poo and roll it away?

Yeah, definitely.

Of course, in that time, I didn't understand why they're doing that.

But now I understand that, like, we know that majority of dung beetles, they do feed on dung, right?

And of course, we know that in the process now of manipulating that dung, they ended up providing a lot of ecosystem service such as dung removal.

So to see how these small creatures are very important, are cleanest in our world.
