This drawing is about the dung beetle (African) moving into Australia (the inquisitive noisy miners) with all his shit (the ball of dung). I think a lot of expats can relate to this scene. I sure can.
Research has shown that dung beetles navigate by the stars and the moon. They are able to take a celestial snapshot of the milky way and store it in their tiny brains. When the dung beetle starts to roll its ball of poop, its able to move in a straight line by matching the stored images of the sky with its current environment. This allows then to move quickly in a straight line. Clever little guys.
