This drawing continues a theme that I have been building on. I'm trying to get people to think how animals from different countries would react if they had to meet. As humans we are not very kind or hospitable to foreigners and immigrants
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.
