A sacred scarab
from The Natural History Cupboard Podcast · host Gareth
This week we meet the insects that move the sun across the sky, can navigate by the milky way, and also love the taste of poo! It the dung beetle of course, and we look at how they are both the future of farming and combating climate change. In the news, there's a very badly run animal collection and we discuss what can be done about it. All this and more this week. The cupboard is open, come on in!
